Brookend Street Ross on Wye floods of 1947
HERE are some pictures of the glorious Herefordshire town of Ross-on-Wye over the years.
The name "Ross" is derived from the Welsh or Celtic for a "promontory".
It was renamed "Ross-on-Wye" in 1931 by the General Post Office, due to confusion with other places of the same or similar name (such as Ross in Scotland).
All of these images are taken with permission from the Facebook group Hereford Herefordshire Remembered.
If you have any old photographs of Herefordshire please email them to bridie.adams@newsquest.co.uk and matthew.holmes@newsquest.co.uk
