A settlement has existed on the site since the [[:en:Iron age|Iron age]] , but the site saw major expansion during the collapse of the [[:en:Roman occupation of Britain|Roman occupation of Britain]], as the city grew too large for its [[:en:city wall|wall]]s. The site was originally mainly a quarry for the abundant red [[:en:sandstone|sandstone]] that much Chester is built from, but in later years became a centre for [[:en:salmon|salmon]] fishing in the Dee.}}
