6Watergate and Lower Bridge Streets
Source: Link
Chester is known for its half-timbered houses, and some of the best were built on Watergate Street and Lower Bridge Street. The former is the site of God’s Providence House, which got its name from the fact that the people who lived there survived the plague. Watergate also has Stanley Palace, Leche House, and Bishop Lloyd’s House, while Lower Bridge Street has the Tudor House (the oldest home in Chester). the 4 main streets of the historic center. They intersect at the corner known as The Cross and are Watergate St, Bridge St, Eastgate St and Northgate St. These 4 tracks are cut by the same pattern, with a good number of buildings built in the particular style of the wooden framework, typical of Tudor architecture. Some of the oldest buildings date from the 16th and 17th centuries, such as those that house the Ye Olde Kings Head and Bear and Billet pubs. In the latter, at the end of Lower Bridge St, we will have a pint in the afternoon. One of the most beautiful ensembles is the facade of the Shopping Center Grosvenor, also on Bridge St. It is one of the largest half-timbered facades. However, the curious thing is that the interior of the shopping center is built following the guidelines of the commercial galleries of the early twentieth century, which is when it was built. That is to say, based on iron and glass and with neo-baroque details. At the time, this style was not very well received in Chester. Click the next ARROWÂ to see the next image!
