Ancient Shopping Mall Photo

Photographer’s Note

Chester is heavily populated by chain stores both in the centre and on retail parks to the west, and also features two indoor shopping centres, an indoor market and a department store, Browns of Chester, now absorbed by the Debenhams chain. There are two main indoor shopping centres: The Grosvenor Mall and the Forum (a reference to the City's Roman past). The Forum, which houses stores and the Chester Market, will be demolished in the Northgate Development scheme to make way for new shopping streets, a new indoor market, an enlarged library, a car park and bus station, and a performing arts centre.

Interesting picture, surprisingly not one boots shop to be seen and I like the decent advertisement which fits into the street much better than those average aggressive high-street neon-signs.
So, good to share the picture, but unfortunately there is no comment to it, neither is explained, where the picture was taken.

Hi Georgios,
Nice shot,I like very much this place(txs for showing us).
The perspective it's ok,nice colours,
But the sky it's not that good,it's seriously overexposed.
Best regards.

Hallo Georgios!
Dies gefällt mir. Eine wunderschöne Atmosphäre, die zum Verweilen und bummeln einlädt. Schön, dass diese alte Straße noch so mot Leben gefüllt ist. Ist doch wesentlich schöner als diese uniformen Einkaufstempel, die immer mehr aus dem boden schießen!
Grüße aus dem warmen und sonnigen Südwestfalen!
