Cheshire Military Museum, Chester

This museum is housed in the part of the Chester Castle which served as accommodation for soldiers in the 19th century. It pays special attention to the history of Cheshire regiments, and works hard to integrate gender and the stories of women who served into it's exhibitions, which dare I say it is somewhat unusual for a military museum!
