EDITORS COMMENTS
Eccleston Ferry, Chester (circa 1900): A Timeless Moment in Cheshire's History This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the early 1900s in the picturesque town of Chester, Cheshire. The scene at Eccleston Ferry, with its quaint wooden boats and the elegant, red-brick ferry building, is a testament to the simple pleasures and tranquility of rural life during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The serene waters of the River Dee reflect the beauty of the surrounding landscape, with the lush, green trees and rolling hills in the background. The boats, moored along the waterside, are a reminder of the importance of boating as a popular leisure activity during this time. The people in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, add a sense of occasion to the scene, as they gather to enjoy a day out at the ferry. The Eccleston Ferry, which has been in operation since the 13th century, played a vital role in connecting the communities on either side of the River Dee. This photograph, however, offers a glimpse into a more leisurely and idyllic time, when the ferry was not just a means of transportation but also a destination for relaxation and enjoyment. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the rich history and charm of Chester and the River Dee, which continues to draw visitors from around the world. The timeless beauty of this scene is a testament to the enduring allure of the water's edge and the simple pleasures of a day spent by the river.
