Western Command Headquarters, Chester
Author(s): Wayne D Cocroft
Western Command Headquarters, Queen's Park Chester was established in 1937 to act as the main administrative centre for the Western Command of the British Army. The principal surviving feature of the headquarters is a large, imposing neo-Georgian building overlooking the river Dee and the city of Chester. Adjacent to its southern side is a modern records centre constructed during the 1970s. The headquarters was considerably expanded during the Second World War and many temporary timber huts were erected in the vicinity; they have all been removed.
