Around 5,607 people live in Chester, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:51 and sunset at 08:04 local time, giving 13h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.70, -81.21) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chester.
