Broad Street 1920

This is one of the finest pictures you will ever see of 1920s Broad Street .The picture was sent in by Jonathan Eaton who believes it belonged to his grandmother.If you are able too zoom in on the details do so, as the quality of this old picture is incredible.Why they ever thought that by pulling many of these buildings down in the 1960s they would improve the city in the future, is still a mystery to this day.

The Cock Of Tupsley.

The "Cock of Tupsley" well the site as it was before the pub ws built.This old black and white Farmhouse was demolished in 1965 due to the cost of renovation and the land subsequently sold to the Banks Brewery.

The farmhouse belonged to Jonathan Eaton's Grandmother who owned the property and who has kindly donated this picture.There is a large Horse Chestnut tree at the back of the farmhouse on the picture which can still be seen today.The view as is as you would look at the pub now,as in-fronting Hampton Dean Road and the side of Ledbury Road.

Very many thanks to Jonathan Eaton.

The Other Black & White House.

Thought it would be a good idea to put this on now, as it seems to be the talking point at the moment.This picture belongs to my dad "Wally" pictured at the very back, who at the time was Foreman on the project.

Hereford Constabulary

A couple of rare pictures from the days of the "Hereford Constabulary" kindly donated to us by

"Pam & Glyn Harris" who's Grandfather PC Albert Harris was a member at that time. The top picture is of their Grandfather, PC Albert Harris and a colleague outside the police station in Goal Street on their police horses. Their Grandfather is the one on the left of the picture. I am unable to name his colleague. Police in those days were also attached to the local fire brigade and their grandfather was there when the Market Hall went on fire in the early part of the last century and also attended the terrible fire at the Kemble Theatre in Broad Street when a number of children lost their lives and others were seriously hurt. One of the children injured was his own daughter.
