Chester Rows, Bridge Street – William Rusel Flint

Chester is a historical city in northwest England, originally, founded as a Roman fortress in 71 A.D. A Roman amphitheatre, with ongoing excavations, lies just outside the old city’s walls. The city is known for its many historical buildings such as Chester Castle, the Old Dee Bridge, The Eastgate with its clock, Chester Cathedral, the City walls, its Roman gardens, and its famous black and white, tudor buildings. 

In this Chester railway poster, created by William Rusel Flint, the artist has featured the famous Rows in Bridge Street, Chester. The Rows feature a  unique two-level, covered, arcades and shops amongst brick and half-timber tudor style buildings. The Lower and Upper levels are linked by many stone staircases. A delightful poster created for the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1929.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
