Parkgate, On A Sunday Afternoon c.1950

More about this scene
One of these very similar views shows the town on a bright summer day with the road thronged with vehicles and the pavements, benches and sea wall busy with visitors enjoying the Cheshire sunshine and the expansive views across the Dee Estuary. The second photograph depicts a virtually deserted Parkgate, but there is still evidence of a beach beneath the sea wall. The projecting section of promenade shown in both photographs is known as the Donkey Stand, because it was possible to take donkey rides along the sands from here as far as South Slip and back.
