Containing over 200 charming pictures and postcards from the
collections of two local families, this absorbing book depicts the
lives and times of those who lived and worked in Hereford and the
surrounding area around 100 years ago. Hereford is dominated by its
beautiful cathedral, proudly standing on the banks of the river
Wye. Although geographically isolated, the navigable Wye
facilitated trade in and out of the city until the introduction of
the tram road, canal and railway. Farming has always been
Herefordshire's prime industry and many of the photographs
illustrate the lives of those who dedicated to the land, in
particular the hop industry. The agricultural year was peppered
with many fairs and festivals including the prestigious Three
Choirs Festival held in rotation in the cities of Worcester,
Gloucester and Hereford. Rarely are photographs taken in this
period so beautifully clear and well-preserved; their clarity
presents further demension to their unique content.
