The painting

The port of Chester 1863, the more one learns about this sophisticated, complex painting The port of Chester 1863 the more one realises it is an amazing picture.

We will never see its like again, for sure it would be near impossible and very expensive to produce a painting to rival to “Port of Chester 1863” today.

The City of Chester Council considered this painting to be sufficiently important, significant, to merit the rare honour of a Civic Reception, over 400 invited guests attended, 95 framed prints sold that night.

Our best possible historical ‘guess’, revealed a civic reception, the ghost of Salty Cyril, a coat of arms, a research story that produced many fascinating insights into a largely forgotten part of Chester’s story …

The picture of Chester port on a fine May morning in 1863 represents the combined knowledge of many people particularly from Chester who generously gave time and knowledge to ensure this is the most accurate possible historical ‘guess’ possible. The buildings, activities, the bridge, all were researched in detail. You can read more by following the ‘further reading’ link below, it’s informative, fascinating, fun, enjoy.
