Colours on the Dee. - a photo on Flickriver

            The River Dee, Chester City, Cheshire, UK.

The River Dee Coordinates...52.8322°N 3.7656°W.

The River Dee was the traditional boundary of the Kingdom of Gwynedd in Wales for centuries, possibly since its founding in the 5th century. It was recorded in the 13th century (in mainstream Middle English orthography, lacking the letters v and w) as flumen Dubr Duiu; the name appears to derive from the Brythonic dēvā: "River of the Goddess" or "Holy River". The river is personified as the war and fate goddess Aerfen.

The river name inspired the name of Roman fortress Deva Victrix.

It is the only river in the UK to be subject to a Water Protection Zone along its whole length down to Chester weir.

West of Chester, the river flows along an artificial channel excavated between 1732 and 1736. The work was planned and undertaken by engineers from the Netherlands and paid for by local merchants and Chester Corporation. It was an attempt to improve navigation for shipping and reduce silting. Chester's trade had declined steadily since the end of the 17th century as sediment had prevented larger craft reaching the city, spelling the end for the Port of Chester.
