What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Pied Bull. Originally named Bull Mansion, this was the residence of Chester's recorder in 1533. It was refronted in the 18th Century when it became an important coaching inn. George Borrow is thought to have stayed here during his tour of "Wild Wales" in 1854.
