EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial shot captures the grandeur and historical significance of Chester Roman Amphitheatre in Cheshire West and Chester. The image, expertly captured by photographer Damian Grady, showcases this remarkable ancient structure from a unique perspective. The amphitheatre, dating back to Roman times, stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and cultural heritage of its era. Its circular shape is clearly visible in this photograph, revealing rows upon rows of stone seating that once accommodated thousands of spectators who gathered here for thrilling gladiatorial contests and other spectacles. The well-preserved ruins are an awe-inspiring sight against the backdrop of modern urban life. This juxtaposition between ancient history and contemporary surroundings adds depth to the image, reminding us of how civilizations evolve over time while preserving fragments of their past. As we gaze at this print from Historic England, our imagination transports us back centuries ago when roaring crowds filled these very seats with anticipation and excitement. We can almost hear echoes of cheers reverberating through time as we contemplate the stories etched into every stone. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also the historical importance that lies within these weathered walls. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cityscapes, remnants from our past continue to inspire wonderment and curiosity about those who came before us.
