More about this scene
A border town with a ruinous castle built by Henry III, Hawarden lies close to Chester on the former main road into Wales from the Dee lowlands and the Cheshire Plain. The A55 has now bypassed the town. The present Hawarden Castle, Broadlane Hall, is a castellated affair which was for many years home to W M Gladstone, whose wife had inherited it. This view of the road junction at the village centre shows the ornate drinking fountain erected to commemorate the golden wedding of Mr and Mrs Gladstone in 1889.
