EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque River Dee in Chester, Cheshire, on the 10th of May, 1936. The tranquil scene showcases the meandering river, its clear waters reflecting the towering trees and historic Rows, a unique architectural feature of the ancient city. The towpath, lined with benches, invites leisurely strolls along the water's edge, providing a serene retreat for locals and visitors alike. The River Dee, a significant waterway in the North of England, has been a source of life and inspiration for the community of Chester for centuries. Its banks have been a popular gathering place, offering respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. In this photograph, the river's gentle flow contrasts with the vibrant activity of people enjoying the sunny day. Children play near the water, while adults sit on the benches, chatting and watching the world go by. The bridge in the background, with its ornate design and intricate details, stands as a testament to the rich history of Chester. The trees, in full bloom, add a splash of color to the scene, framing the river and enhancing its natural beauty. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished.
