ROSS - ON - WYE MULTIVIEW

After THIS POST on "multi-views" of the City of Hereford through the years, some similar photographic postcards of the famous centre of Anglican resistance in the County of Herefordshire, Ross on Wye:

1930s Ross on Wye, with the Old Market House in the centre of the card. From left -
 "Alton Court and the Woods", a view of Ross from the River, the Horse Shoe Bend,
the River and Boathouse. The River Wye provided a substantial natural defence feature
to Ross, expertly exploited by the Anglicans during the VBCW.

1930s again, with the Old Market House again taking pride of place. From left - Ross on Wye
from the river bank, "The Loop", River Wye, Horseshoe Bend ,and Wilton Bridge.
For more on the important Wilton Bridge, SEE HERE
1950s Ross, a postcard printed on behalf of "The Wye Hotel". The Hotel in the centre, from L:
the Bridge, the Horse Shoe bend, the Market Place with the Old Market Hall, the River.
"The Wye Hotel" seems no longer to be trading.

And after THIS POST on 1930s "Railway Posters" and their artist, Claude Buckle, it is worth reproducing his work on Ross:
