A Look Round Hereford 1960


These views of Hereford city centre were shot in 1960 by John Barnett - nostalgic views of a city bustling with half-remembered British family cars and distinctive Midland Red buses. We also see much that has continued to make Hereford a city proud of its heritage, such as the Jacobean 'Old House', a black and white building in High Town, and the city's famous cathedral. The annual May Fair is also on show with the whirling rides adding a dose of thrills and vibrancy to the city.
