Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond. My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her. Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).

I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years.

Childhood Memories of Ewyas Harold
My paternal grandparents, Wright and Bertha Veall, lived in Ewyas Harold for many years at their small farm named, 'Woodside' situated on a hill about a mile from the village centre and just off the road to Rowlstone.

Extracts From Whitney & Herefordshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Whitney, inspired by Frith photos.
The Boat Inn, as its name suggests, sits right on the bank of the River Wye. Perhaps its name implies that there was once a ferry crossing here long ago. In 1802, however, a wooden toll bridge was built nearby which is still in regular use today.

Today this view hasn't changed at all. Despite increases in population and the subsequent rise in road traffic, Herefordshire still manages to retain an aura of peacefulness and serenity, exemplified in this photograph.
