Leominster, High Street c.1960

More about this scene

It looks quiet here now, but once the market at Leominster was so successful that the cities of Hereford and Worcester were jealous of its success. They persuaded Henry III to force Leominster to change its market day from Saturday to Friday. Even so it was still, in the 16th century, described as 'the greatest market town in the county of Hereford'.

A Selection of Memories from Leominster

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Leominster

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I am researching my family tree and have discovered that my great-grandfather, Thomas Ashcroft, a besom (broom) maker, lived and made brooms at 122 Mill Street in 1862 before migrating to South Wales. I believe that most of the old Mill Street houses have long since been demolished, I shall visit one day and have look.
There is no corn square in Great Malvern. Have checked the corn market in Worcester and this 'photo is not of that either. Any thoughts?
I have a picture of a double fronted butchers shop in the corn market. Over the door it says L.Pugh, outside is the butcher and his wife and probably their daughter Marie.  A family story was that a lad from the family when asked who he was replied "Jack Pugh, Leominster, kill sheep"  I assume there was an abbatoir behind the shop. The picture is in an album of my parents around the 1920's. Any information please email me at bpmann@ntlworld.com Thank you.
