1 Bridge Street, Chester, Grade II* listed retail building at Chester Cross, England.

The building extends for one bay along Bridge Street and Eastgate Street, featuring an octagonal turret and decorative panels with ornate windows.

Thomas Meakin Lockwood designed this structure in 1888 for the 1st Duke of Westminster, incorporating traditional black-and-white revival architecture.

Modern retail establishments occupy both the street level and row level spaces, with a seven-step entrance leading to the upper shopping area.

The curved roof contains pargetted panels, mullioned windows, and the Grosvenor family coat of arms displayed on the Eastgate Street section.
