The Axe Tavern, A Rainy Day

Photograph of the Axe Tavern and Yacht Inn in Chester. This is taken from the same angle as Axe Tavern and Yacht Inn (770 ECH/1/1/0740), but this image was taken at night when it had been raining, as the cobbled streets are still wet. The darkness has made the sign for the Axe Tavern stand out much better, and in this image there are no people. The image was taken on Nicholas Street where the 200 year-old Axe Tavern (since renamed the "Falchion and Firkin" and then "Bar Coast" is situated. The Yacht Inn is shown at the end of this street where it meets Watergate Street. It was demolished so that an inner ring road could be built (completed 1972). The Hardmans had a second studio in Chester from 1938-1958.
