Rows of Chester The Chester Rows Research Project

The 'Rows of Chester' are a unique system of walkways running through the frontages of buildings on four of the main streets of the city, providing access to shops at the first floor level. Almost a decade of historical and archaeological research on this medieval two-tier complex of shops is detailed in this report. This inter-disciplinary research project combined archaeological ,historical and documentary evidence, with detailed analysis of the topography and history of the early medieval buildings, building materials and techniques. Their remarkable survival to the present day is also a subject of discussion.Brown, Andrew is the author of 'Rows of Chester The Chester Rows Research Project' with ISBN 9781850746294 and ISBN 185074629X.
