England - Chester Rows

England - Chester Rows
Chester Rows can be found in the four main streets in the centre of Chester. They consist of covered and continuous half-timbered walkways at the first floor with shops and other premises. At street level there are also retail premises, which can be entered by going down a few steps. Some original 13th century buildings, have survived the ravages of time, but many of the impressive facades are Victorian copies. The Rows, with its double-decker architectural design, are unique in the world.

The earliest written records of the Rows date back to the 11th and 12th centuries, but it’s possible they actually existed in some form for many centuries before that. Most probably they may have been built on top of rubble remaining from the ruins of Roman buildings. Still their origin is subject to speculation. Undercrofts were constructed beneath the buildings in the Rows. The undercrofts were in stone while most of the buildings in the Rows were in timber.

It's impossible to get any photos without people in them in this part of Chester, Jaap. I wasn't there on that day though. ;-)

Les gens sont pressés et affairés et ne voient plus les beautés qu'ils côtoient quotidiennement. Quand je travaillais, je passais devant un monument historique énorme, et je n'y jetais que rarement un coup d’œil, trop préoccupé par mon quotidien.
