Line 185:
 
When Hoole Urban District Council gave up its powers to Chester City in 1954 The Elms became a base and training centre for the City of Chester Auxiliary Fire Service, a practice tower being erected in its grounds. The Elms was demolished in 1985 due to extensive dry rot. A Medical Centre was built on the site which is now occupied by a Co-operative supermarket.
