Chester:
City Beautiful
Alistair and Jan Campbell
Located within the county of Cheshire and in the
close proximity of the North Wales border, the city
of Chester owes much of its status as a favoured tourist
destination to its rich and colourful heritage.
A stroll around the City Walls will help unfold the
city’s history as a former major seaport, military
garrison and city under siege. The influence of the
Roman and Saxon periods are evident throughout its
streets, where the principle thoroughfares still bear
a strong resemblance to their original medieval design.
The famous and unique two-tiered Rows continue to
support the city’s ancient reputation as a market
place. The canals and River Dee no longer carry shipments
to support former shipbuilding and manufacturing industries,
instead ferrying eager tourists along its picturesque
banks and locks.
Each page of Chester: City Beautiful colourfully
and aesthetically portrays a scene, personality, landmark
or tradition associated with this unique city. Cheshire
based husband and wife team Alistair and Jan Campbell,
have over fifty years professional photographic experience
between them. Their professionalism and talent is
clearly evident throughout this publication, where
they have strived to ensure that the city is represented
in a photographic style and quality that befits its
high esteem among both residents and visitors alike.
If you are a Chester resident, one of this books challenges
will be to recognise a favourite haunt and if you
are a visitor, it will be to discover how beautiful
this city is!
