EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1935, capturing a picturesque scene along the River Dee in Chester, Cheshire. The image showcases a GWR Publicity view of this idyllic location, where people can be seen enjoying various activities amidst the tranquil surroundings. On the banks of the river, anglers patiently cast their lines into the water, hoping for a successful catch. Meanwhile, individuals return from an enjoyable boat trip on the glistening river surface. The Groves on the left side of the frame provide a charming backdrop with lush greenery and inviting pathways that lead up to what is now an ice cream kiosk. Intriguingly, this snapshot also features Queens Park Bridge in the distance – an architectural gem that still stands today as a testament to Chester's rich history. Its elegant design adds another layer of beauty to this already enchanting scene. Transported back to simpler times by this photograph from nearly nine decades ago, we are reminded of how people sought solace and joy in nature's embrace. This slice-of-life moment encapsulates both leisurely pursuits and natural splendor along one of England's most beloved rivers
