Overview
This home movie tour of Herefordshire was shot by Hereford resident John Barnett over a number of years in the 1960s. We open with views of the city of Hereford including the recently opened Greyfriars Bridge, which gave the city a second, much needed road crossing over the River Wye. It's a more leisurely pace of life though in the villages of Weobley and Eardisland, the latter a regular winner of the best kept Herefordshire village award.
