Chester Business Park
The park opened in 1988 and occupies an area of 175 acres (0.71 km). At the centre of the site is the former Wrexham Road Farm, a model farm designed by John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster and built in 1877–1884; otherwise it was a greenfield site. The farmhouse and outbuildings of the farm were converted into offices, and a number of businesses built premises in modern architectural styles. One of the first major businesses to occupy a new building was Shell Chemicals U.K., and other businesses included Marks & Spencer Financial Services, MBNA International Bank, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Trinity International.
A Leaping Salmon bronze sculpture by Laurence Broderick is displayed at the Chester Business Park.
