There's the 'Headless Woman' just outside Chester.

In the pub's car park there used to be a lifesize & very gory looking but lifelike statue of this unfortunate decapitated female complete with bloody neck,bones & arteries showing & 'with 'er 'ed tucked underneath 'er arm'

Sometime during the 70's, a car smashed into it & the statue was removed but never replaced, which was a pity as the effigy had always been a great landmark for directing travellers.


About fifteen miles away from Chester, on the fringes of Delamere Forest,there's Norley village which has a famous pub with a singular name.

A local story tells of the salesman new to the area who was looking for this establishment,

He stopped a villager to ask 'Where's The Tiger's Head?'

Quick as a flash came back the answer, 'Four foot from his tail'!
