More about this scene
Eccleston is a few miles up the River Dee from Chester. Here the river charts a more leisurely course as it makes its way to the sea. This photograph shows the chain-operated flat-decked ferry; it was attached to both sides of the river and winched across. Horses, carts, wagons and coaches could be carried, and the basic fare was 1d.
