The Bear and Billet Stop number 11 on the Millennium Trail
This is one of the finest examples of a black and white half timbered building in Chester. Built in the 17th century to replace a building destroyed during the civil war. It was once owned by the Earls of Shrewsbury, who controlled the nearby Bridgegate. It is not clear how the pub got its name, because the bear and billet was a symbol of the Earls of Warwick. The Pub is on three floors and now has newly installed wide screen TVs. The Bear and Billet is located on Lower Bridge Street on the west side just inside the Bridgegate. With such a large building it is hard to miss.
