About Chester's Eastgate Clock

You may recognise Eastgate Clock from Ian’s Foundation Urban Sketching course. Eastgate Clock is the focal point of the historic City of Chester, England. It stands on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.

In this workshop, you’ll be approaching Eastgate clock from a completely different angle and bringing other factors and stories into your work to create a visually rich scene with lots of character, black and white timber structures, and plenty of detail such as the windows and cobbles.
