Chester (2), Cheshire.

The view here is from the top of Eastgate, under the clock on the previous page, and is looking into the city centre towards The Rows.
A number of black and white timber framed buildings, for which Chester and Cheshire is famous, can be seen. The black and white timberframed building jutting out in the distance on the right is the start of the Eastgate Street section of The Rows.

This view is looking along Eastgate Street, back towards Eastgate, at the junction with Northgate Street in the city centre. Part of The Rows can be seen on the corner and on the right.
The rows are two-tiered rows of shops and the openings into the upper gallery can be seen above the ground level shops. This upper level is accessed by steps placed at frequent intervals along the Rows.

This view is from outside the southern side of the cathedral and shows an impressive row of timber framed buildings on the last section of St. Werburgh Street just before it joins Eastgate Street.

Situated on the corner of Frodsham Street and Foregate Street this building was actually built in 1921 to a design by Francis Jones.
It shows that just because it's timber framed and looks impressive doesn't mean it's old!

Situated in Bridge Street the date can be seen on the building as 1664 so this building is a genuine ancient building! If you look at the main cross beam just below the top window you can see that it sags slightly with age.
This is one of the buildings in The Rows where the upper gallery can easily be seen.
