This display explores the work of a very talented photographer. Thomas Pickthall whose photographs captured Chester during the 1930s and a little after. Thomas was a local man who started taking pictures in his teems with a box camera and his starkly beautiful images of the city are nothing short of impressive and a joy to see.
