EDITORS COMMENTS

A masterpiece captured by GWR Publicity, it offers a breathtaking view of the city from the racecourse's vantage point. Established way back in 1539, Chester Racecourse proudly holds the title of being the world's oldest racecourse still operating today. In this particular snapshot, however, horse racing takes a backseat as the center of the course is transformed into lush grazing land. The serene atmosphere allows for an uninterrupted panorama that stretches far beyond. As your eyes wander towards the horizon, you'll notice majestic towers piercing through the skyline – these are none other than several churches and landmarks that grace Chester's landscape. Among them stands tall and proud Chester Cathedral, its grandeur visible even from afar. Transporting us to an era defined by elegance and sophistication, this image encapsulates all that was cherished about summers in the 1920s. It invites us to appreciate not only nature's beauty but also architectural marvels that have stood strong for centuries. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both history and progress - reminding us how traditions like horse racing can coexist harmoniously with timeless structures such as churches and cathedrals.
