As the City of Hereford empties of troops in anticipation of "His Majesty's Massive Counter-Offensive" (Spring Big Game 2024 - see HERE) some "multi-view" postcards of the cityscape over the decades:
|
1930s, clockwise from top left - The Wye Bridge, the Cathedral from the River, the Castle Green, the Old House. Centre, the Cathedral again. |
|
1940s, clockwise from left. The Old House, Broad Street, Commercial Street, the Wye Bridge |
|
Late 1950s/early 1960s, clockwise from top left - The Wye Bridge, the Old House, Victoria Bridge. |
|
Late 1960s/early 1970s, clockwise from top left - the Cathedral, the River Wye looking towards the Cathedral, rowing on the Wye looking towards the Wye Bridge, the Old House. |
|
1980s - the Wye Bridge, Broad Street, the Old House, the Cathedral from the River. |
A fully illustrated history of the Old House is
HERE. Similarly, an illustrated history of the Victoria Bridge is
HERE, together with information on the 1937 Jubilee Walk, opened by Queen Mary,
HERE. No doubt (battles permitting) blogposts will follow in due course on the Cathedral, Broad Street, and Castle Green....
