The clock, with its intricate ironwork, deep blue tones, and touches of gold, stands proudly above the city’s red and orange brick buildings. Overhead, the sky is painted in brilliant hues of pink, peach, and purple, filling the scene with a dreamy, atmospheric glow.

In the foreground, a burst of wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, white, and purple is created through playful splashes of paint, adding texture and movement. The mix of historic detail, radiant skies, and lively colour brings the landmark to life in a joyful and striking composition.

Eastgate Clock, Chester

Eastgate Clock in Chester is one of the city’s best known landmarks and a striking piece of Victorian craftsmanship. Installed in 1899 to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, it was built on the site of the original Roman entrance to the fortress of Deva, linking Chester’s ancient past with its later history.

The clock is set within an elaborate wrought-iron structure, decorated with gilded details and four clock faces that can be admired from every direction. Positioned above the Eastgate, it has become an enduring symbol of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben, celebrated for its beauty, heritage, and distinctive charm.
