EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting and mysterious Eastgate Street in Chester, Cheshire, where the House of Bewlay tobacconists shop once stood. Circa 1970s, this evocative photograph captures the allure of this historic shop, with its ornate rendered frontage adorned with cherubs, dentils, and sash windows. The shop, run by Healey Baker, was renowned for its selection of pipes and tobacco, drawing in customers from far and wide. However, the House of Bewlay was not just known for its fine tobacco blends. Since the late 1960s, strange occurrences began to be reported, making the shop a hotbed of paranormal activity. Among the incidents were a picture falling to the floor, with the screws mysteriously cut in half, doors opening and closing on their own, and eerie wailing and stamping sounds. Despite the unexplained phenomena, shoppers and pedestrians continued to frequent the area, their footsteps echoing on the pavement outside. Across the street, Woolworths and other shops bustled with activity, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of Eastgate Street. As you gaze at this image, one can't help but wonder about the ghostly presence that once resided within the walls of the House of Bewlay. A fascinating piece of Chester's rich history, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, where the ordinary and the extraordinary intertwined.
