Chester's most recognisable landmarks and a whole host of other sights have been recreated in a LEGO display showcased in the city centre.

Chester in Lego was started back in 2014 by the man behind the anonymous city Twitter account S*** Chester and over the past five years he has used his own money and thousands of bricks to construct landmarks, well known local residents and mini recreations of events from the city's past.

And in doing so, he has already raised £2,000 for local charities including SPACE, the Samaritans and Hospice of the Good Shepherd, which he hopes to build on further in the future.

Now the display, which is showcased in the recently revitalised Chester Market and is listed on TripAdvisor as one of the top attractions in Chester, has tripled in size since it was first built, and it is regularly updated to reflect events in the city.

The man behind it all told Cheshire Live: "I've really enjoyed developing the models over the last five years and see it as a way of giving something back to the city I love.

"I hope the display captures some of the richness of Chester life. We have lots to be optimistic about and I try to make my display as full of activity as the real thing."

Just some of the city landmarks seen in the Lego display include the famous rows, walls, Eastgate Clock, Storyhouse and The Groves, as well as recreations of Gladiators fighting in the amphitheatre and the Civil War Siege.

Recent additions have included the Safe Space and newly opened independent eateries in Chester Market, which are located just yards away from the real thing.

Karen Bates, Cheshire West and Chester Council's market manager, said: "Children and adults alike enjoy the display and appreciate the quirkiness that derives from the many themes.

"Chester Market has certainly benefited from the LEGO display and is delighted to house the display for the public to appreciate."

You can see Chester in Lego from Monday to Saturday during market opening hours. It is free to visit with donations to the Samaritans welcome.

The display is set to move into the new market hall which is scheduled to open in 2021.
