More about this scene
Built of red sandstone, Chester Cathedral was founded in 1092 as a Benedictine abbey. Parts of the original Norman church can still be seen, though much of the present cathedral dates from the 13th to the 16th centuries. In this photograph, the road appears to sweep straight into the west door. A cab driver and his horse wait patiently in the shade for their next fare.
