Chester, a city with a rich history dating back to its Roman fort days, has played a significant role in the history of north-west England. Situated near the Welsh border, Chester is surrounded by an almost complete circuit of city walls, enclosing not only the cathedral and castle but also numerous ancient buildings, including the iconic Rows of black and white half-timbered buildings.
Throughout its evolution, Chester maintained its prominence, especially during the industrial age. The arrival of the canal system and then the railways further enhanced its connectivity and economic growth. Today, Chester has expanded beyond its city walls, with new housing developments and revitalization projects within the city. However, its historic center, the racecourse beside the River Dee, and its vibrant cultural scene continue to attract visitors from all over the world.
Chester Reflections is a captivating collection of historic and modern photographs that seamlessly blend to showcase the area's transformation over the decades. With 180 pictures in this book, each featuring a recent color view of Chester alongside a matching sepia archive scene, readers are invited to witness the changing face of the city. Through the split-image effect, they can observe how streets, buildings, docks, and everyday life have evolved over time.
Local author Paul Hurley has skillfully presented this visual chronicle, offering a fascinating perspective on Chester's past and present. This book appeals to residents, visitors, local historians, and anyone with ties to the area, providing a valuable insight into the city's rich heritage and evolution.
