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.

My Mother Mary Burghall (Married name Davies) used to walk to school everyday across this suspension bridge. She would would walk with her brother's and sisters and friends and she often says that this was the best time of her life.
