The varied architecture of Chester. The 1799 Shot Tower in the centre, Waitrose, opened in 2014 (I was there) on the right, and the Moxy Hotel on the left, opened in 2020. I really like how the modern points to the old. #Chester #Architecture #ShotTower #ModernArchitecture #Waitrose #WaitroseChester

The scorched earth of #Cheshire and beyond, seen from #Beeston Castle. Despite it being the driest July in 190 years and in August so far, England only seeing 6% of the average seasonal rainfall, the county still doesn't officially have #drought status.

Brown fields stretch into the distance across Cheshire, punctuated by some trees and hedgerows. In the distance are the Welsh hills, and in the foreground the remains of an old castle wall.

Two trees to the right and left frame the view across farmland with brown fields. In between is a wall with ivy growing on the top, and large, dry boulders surrounded by scorched grass.

Brown fields stretch into the distance across Cheshire, punctuated by some trees and hedgerows. In the distance are the Pennine hills, and in the foreground the remains of an old castle wall, wildflowers and brown grass, scorched by the sun.

A flight of steps lead steeply up a slope towards the entrance of a ruined castle. The grass surrounding them is scorched brown, and the earth tinder-dry.

A fantastic morning on the first day of a new tour of Chester Town Hall. It's an incredible building, made even more so by our Victorian guide, who was brilliant, knowledgeable and entertaining. Google Chester Visitor Information Centre for the details! #Chester #History #Victorian #ChesterTownHall

I spent a lot of my visit to Chester walking along the city walls. This was my favourite bit, around the Kaleyard Gate. In this weekend’s painting, the ancient wall is framed by 18th and 19th century buildings and trees. In the distance is the King Charles Tower. #painting #chester

Great to see so many people at the Dee Trust open evening last night, and a fantastic reaction to my short film. It was a pleasure to make, spending time with the Dee Trust staff and volunteers, and exploring the beautiful, complex and unique River Dee. #conservation #riverdee #waterpollution

Put the date in your diary for next year! 📷 @stuartrobphoto.bsky.social
