Step into the historic city of Chester through a series of finely rendered watercolours that capture its timeless charm. The collection opens with the soaring cathedral seen from the north‑east, then moves through bustling market streets, medieval bridges and quiet cloisters, each image painted with a gentle, observant hand. The artist’s eye for detail invites listeners to picture the interplay of stone, timber and river water that defines this ancient locale.
From the ornate lectern in the refectory to the humble Falcon Inn, the book surveys a wide variety of landmarks—castle towers, the iconic Bridge of Sighs, the weather‑worn ruins of St John’s, and the lively canals where salmon‑fishing boats glide. Subtle washes of colour bring out the texture of half‑timbered houses, the glow of stained glass, and the distant Welsh hills reflected in the Dee. As you listen, you’ll feel the quiet rhythm of a city where medieval history lives alongside the steady flow of its river.
