Here's some photos I took recently in Hereford. I think it was market day, as there were a lot of people about. Its close to the border with Wales, where I was staying. The river Wye passes through Hereford and its thought that the name might come from "here ford", as a ford is a river crossing. Herefordshire was once Welsh speaking and the Welsh word for Hereford is Henffordd, meaning "old road".
