OK, this is a bit off topic, but:
As the players walk out of the tunnel at Chester City FC, they cross the border from England to Wales as they cross the white line on to the pitch. Virtually every other ground in the UK has been built with the main stand (i.e. where the expensive seats are) facing east, so that the sun doesn't shine in the eyes of the fat cats on a typical Saturday afternoon. (And I speak as someone who has spent a lot of Saturdays squinting into the sun). However, if they had followed this practice at Chester, it would have meant that the main stand (and the club's registered office) would have been in Wales and therefore they couldn't have been able to play in the English League 'pyramid'. So, Chester's ground was built 'back to front' so that the offices were in England.
To get back on topic (a bit), I remember my parents taking me to Rhyl in the late 50's and recall (specifically) two things;
1, a waitress in a cafe really trying to persuade me that I was in a different country (I don't think I believed her) and;
2, seeing the ex-Devon Belle observation car, at that time used in the North Wales Land Cruise train (look it up) in the down carriage sidings, as we waited for our train home
