The last train stopped at Bromyard in September 1964 and by December of the following year, when these scenes were shot for the news programme ATV Today, the track is gone and an air of neglect is in the air. As we can see, concerns over the future of the high street is not a new phenomenon as the camera lingers over the 'closed' and 'to let' signs. With the local county office offering welfare food we can see that it will be a subdued Christmas at Bromyard.
