A Virtual Stroll Around the Walls of Chester
The Vanished Pubs of Chester Gallery
Here we see busy traffic on a George Street unfamilar to modern eyes. Among the buildings now vanished is The Royal George Hotel- No. 31 George Street. The tall chimney in the background of both pictures belonged to 'Mullins' Chester & North Wales Hide, Skin & Fat Market'. This less-than-fragrant establishment was demolished, along with much else in the neighbourhood, after the Cattle Market closed. The vehicles may prove evocative to those who, like myself who grew up around this time- and also help to date the photograph; the new-looking Austin 1100 on the right is 'J' registration, which was 1970-1. Also seen are a Ford Anglia Estate, a Mk I Ford Escort, a Singer Gazelle (I think) and two Mini pickups... |
