HRH The Prince of Wales visited the Eaton Estate village of Aldford. He laid the corner stone of a new Affordable Housing initiative and met the local people. In the evening there was a ball for the Prince's Trust. For the full story please click here.

Much of the built environment, both at Eaton and in certain parts of Chester, was designed by the architect John Douglas.

The 1st Duke of Westminster (1825 – 1899) commissioned Douglas to rebuild a significant number of buildings with the main intent of improving the standards for those employees who at that time were living and working on the estate.

A handful of the original half-timbered, thatched dwellings were saved from demolition and exist to this day.
