The aim of this site is to give a different look at Old Hereford, with new and old pictures of its people, it's buildings, it's businesses and events from over the years. Something a little different for people to take a look at and talk about. Contact;
The birthplace of the famous English actor/playwright "David Garrick". Born in Maylord Street Hereford on the 19th February 1717.The plaque on his birthplace wall actually says 1716 not sure why this is, there seems to be some confusion.
The Great Western Vaults in Commercial Road better known these days as the "Palace Restaurant".The pub i believe was also known as the "The Great Western Inn"any information please contact me at; oldhereford@gmail.com
Old 1960 catalog from George Holloway & Webb Ltd "The Campers Shop" in Victoria Street.Can anyone tell me is this where "Jessons"old store used to be? Note the old telephone number.
Entertainments Guide from the old "Mid Week Times Bulletin"20th April 1965.This old ad was found in what was at the time called the "Hereford Times and the Hereford Citizen & Bulletin".Looks like this was a great midweek paper with loads of news & sports coverage and yes we had two cinemas then.
A little bit different this one, but a nice bit of Herefords old history.
Hereford Butter Market looking rather splendid with its Christmas lights taken December 2008.Enjoy the view as were told by the powers that be, there will be new lights next year.
