The Naming of the Rows

In Chester, the main streets are called, for example, Eastgate Street, Watergate Street, etc., and the upper parts of these streets, or walkways, are called Eastgate Row, Watergate Row, etc. However, this was not always so, and sections of both the streets and rows were once called after the professions that mainly occupied them. The section of Bridge Street Row opposite that shown in the photo was once called Scotch Row, and the row further down was referred to as Corvisors Row, and later became Flax Row.
