Summary
[edit]DescriptionRailway Bridge over the River Dee 2008 - geograph.org.uk - 1069405.jpg |
English: Railway Bridge over the River Dee 2008. A photo deliberately similar to Martin Addison's 1059713 showing some of the changes made since 1979. Now only the southerly pair of tracks are used to cross the bridge over the River Dee, whilst the other two are completely overgrown. On the left, between the viaduct and the river, the gasometers have been replaced by the state of the art modern stables for Chester Racecourse (all the low roofs), and behind them a modern apartment block is in the process of being completed. The modern white building beyond the rear of the train is the new Holiday Inn, on New Crane Street, which doubles as accommodation for the stable lads during race meetings. The tall rectangular building on the skyline, in line with the locomotive, is Commerce House, which is earmarked for demolition but has stood empty for some time. To the right of that the modern Crowne Plaza hotel dominates and the strange tower rising up behind it is the town hall shrouded in scaffolding. On the far right the square tower of the cathedral can be seen against the sky. The red tiled roof buildings behind the green of the racecourse have changed considerably after a disastrous fire in the 1980s when the County Stand was badly damaged. Finally, for the enthusiasts, this photo was taken at 11.27am, so the train may have been the 11.24 heading for Llandudno. |
