Historic Hereford 1940-1963
From GIs dancing in High Town in 1942 and on into the New Elizabethan era: this is a true celebration of the city of Hereford from the austere 1940s right into the 'swinging' sixties.
Please take a look at this fantastic footage. There is some great colour footage at about the half way mark.
