More about this scene
Chester sits on a sandstone spur north of the Dee, which winds past the ancient castle, begun in 1069, but now much modified by late 18th-century additions. Here we see the beautiful, delicate suspension footbridge; a steam launch is passing underneath. Below the weir at Chester, the Dee was a busy commercial waterway until its silting up prevented seagoing vessels from reaching the city.
