On a recent trip to Chester, we were met by the town crier, dressed in his traditional wear...very colourful..

    Hi Seneca
    A town crier is a person who proclaims the news in the town centre, for everyone to hear. Is was a very honourable profession in the old days, a bit like a newsreader on the streets..., before we had TV or Radio. I love to see these traditions kept alive in some of our towns and cities,...just wonderful.ylsuper.gif
