Seacome

Life

Seacome's Shop in 1836 - on the Bridge Street Rows from an illustration by Chester artist William Tasker (1808-1852).

John Seacome (active 1828-1836), Publisher and bookseller, had a bookshop in Chester as shown here. We can work out where it is because the building across the street is the unmistakable Dutch Houses.
