1) Gateshead - nothing really there that interests my family, so we wouldn't have gone in any case other than my hobby (which has always been solo).
2) Consett - again, nothing really there that interests us. Even Stanley is a rare visit, normally just to Asda!
3) Washington - once more, nothing at the Galleries for us.
Isn't the Galleries the main shopping centre nearest to Chester though?
