The Eastside of Bridge Street in central Chester (England) starting at the Chester Cross on the left. Chester is well known for The Rows, a two-storey shopping front along its central streets with a continuous walkway serving the upper shop row. The picturesque half-timbered buildings are mostly not medieval, but stem from the “black-and-white revival” during the Victorian Era. A full street front up to St Michael’s Church on the right is currently work in progress (see previews).
Chester Cross
At the left edge, at the junction Chester Cross, the main streets of Chester meet – Watergate Street, Eastgate Street, Bridge Street and Northgate Street. The first three have been the main roads in Chester since it was a Roman Fortress. Nowadays St Peter’s Church is situated where once stood the Roman Headquarter. Opposite the church, the first building on the corner of Eastgate and Bridge Street is a black-and-white revival building by Thomas Lockwood. Its prominent position and striking design make it an iconic building. At its corner it includes a flight of seven steps leading from the street to the row level, above which an octagonal turret can be seen.
