A photograph of Chester Shot Tower, a tall cylindrical brick tower constructed from red sandstone, standing prominently in the center of a modern residential development. The historic industrial tower features small windows at regular intervals up its height and appears to be several stories tall. It is surrounded by contemporary apartment buildings with modern architecture - including buildings with grey metal cladding and orange/brown facades with balconies. The contrast between the Victorian industrial heritage and modern housing development is clearly visible. The sky appears overcast.
