Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
WATERGATE STREET ROW, CHESTER.
The most marked feature of Chester, next to its walls, consists in its peculiar and celebrated "rows." The general plan of the place embraces four main streets, crossing at the centre, once occupied by a stone cross. These streets emerge at East Gate, North Gate, Bridge Gate, and Watergate, the last so called because the tide once came up as far. The first floors of the houses are often to the street, and shops open from the back side upon these covered balconies or corridors, known as the "rows," from which, at intervals, stair-cases, such as the one here seen, descend to the street and the other shops below. The shops of the "Row" are on the left; through the open front on the right is seen the other side of the street.
