A mounted, framed and glazed sepia tone print of the Water Tower in Chester. The Water Tower was erected for military outposts at a time when the River Dee flowed up to the City Walls. Vessels were, in those days, moored alongside the Tower. It suffered from the artillery of Cromwell during the Great Civil War and has of late years been used as a Museum. The group of square stone pillars in the foreground are the remains of a Roman Hypocarest or Sweating Bath discovered while excavating in Bridge Street. Overall, framed, measures about 14 1/2" x 11 1/2", 37cm x 29cm and weighs about 720g.
Dimensions: 14 1/2
