More about this scene

A tram en route to Chester General station enters a passing loop; Eastgate Street was too narrow for double track to be laid. The large half-timbered building on the left with its awnings out was built in the mid-1890s, and became the local branch of F W Woolworths. The classical building on the left dates from 1860 and was where the Westminster Bank had its Chester branch.

Surely This Is Bridge Street ?
I think this photograph no. C82013, is of Bridge Street, not Eastgate Street and is taken from the southern end of Bridge Street towards St Peter's Church? The church appears to be the same as photo no 28876 of Bridge Street 1891, and also taken from the same position. Thank you for this - it prompted us to do a check, however our Archivist has double checked and it is actually Eastgate Street, so we have not changed our title on this occasion.

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
