Chester Photographic Survey
The Chester Photographic Survey is a unique record of Chester. A
street by street documentation of Chester from the 1960s
onwards.
Lyon St. & James St. - 1964
Chester Market 1965
Classic Cinema - 1964
In the 1960s the Civic Trust - concerned at the planned changes
to the fabric of Chester - asked that a photographic record be made
and this was launched in 1963 with them, the Photographic Society
and representatives from the Museum and Library.
Its aim was to prepare a house by house photo survey, with the
area within the walls and buildings in imminent danger given
priority. Now the survey team of photographers (roughly about a
dozen of them) are notified by the Civic Trust (and CHH)) of any
buildings due for demolition that can be added to the collection on
a regular basis
The collection is invaluable for studying local history,
containing over 12,000 photographs of Chester streets, businesses
and some buildings that no longer exist today.
