Chester Streets, UK - #streetphotography Contest

Hello, this time I want to share with you some beautiful #streetphotography of the city of Chester.

I was there last August, visiting my friend. We spent most of our time in London, but we simply could not skip this one out.

Amazing, isn't it?

Thank you for stopping by :)

Chester's a really beautiful city, I love the uneven floors in the really old buildings! Where were you visiting from? We work in Cheshire and Chester quite a lot, definitely can't complain in terms of location!

You are lucky to be there often, it is very charming. I was visiting from Slovenia once and then last year from Canada.

It's a lovely place, if you are back in the UK I'd recommend checking out York (Kind of like Chester but a bit more old world-ey) and the Lake District (Just beautiful scenery!) Although if you're living in Canada now you're probably not short of beautiful scenery! I visited Vancouver and Whistler with my wife last year, we'd both always wanted to go to Whistler so tacked it on to a visit to Portland for a conference. We both just fell in love with the place and the people! We have a lot of friends in the industry from Alberta/Edmonton/BC....all over really. I think the politeness unites us!

I agree with you @bypaul!

"Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was designated as a Grade I listed building on 28 July 1955.[1]"

They look so pretty and nowadays most buildings look so plain. You should go there and then share some of your photos @cyphico. Where in England were you so far?
