Heating Chester with the Dee - 2000 years of the river supporting the city
The river Dee has a long history of providing the power for the city of Chester, from mills to the dormant hydroelectric power station on the weir. This talk will cover the efforts to bring the hydro-hub back into use, providing clean heat for the city. It will examine the river's ecology and importance over the last century. Dr Niall Macfadyen is the Director of the Cheshire Heritage And Sustainability Enterprises.
