 The mysterious Serpent Path was laid down from Dinedor Hill towards the River Wye around 4,000 years ago and we are pleased to host two events to allow you to find out more.
Former county archaeologist Keith Ray looks at this unique feature and the associated serpent mounds of Ohio at The Barrels, Tuesday April 11 at 7.30pm. No booking needed. Guided Walk Dr Ray will also lead an Easter Serpent Walk on Saturday April 15, 1030-1300. Walk numbers are limited: please book here.  At our meeting at The Volunteer, 7.30 pm Tuesday March 7 (today!) we’ll firm up the spring programme. We have exciting ideas for another of our popular Mills walk, a quiz, a Rotherwas Serpent walk and talk, Bathing Station picnic and a paddle!
Come along for updates on our finances and website plans and look at Naomi’s wartime article/appeal. Bring and share any interesting objects, photos and so on. Everyone welcome.  You may already know that The Friends of Castle Green is delighted to have been awarded a grant by The Big Lottery Fund Awards for All to carry out a year long city-wide consultation process to determine the future of Castle Green and the surrounding area. The Friends would like to invite members of the History Group and a friend to a World Cafe Event to have their say on 'Planning the Future: Castle Green in the 21st Century'. They hope to bring together a good cross section of people to facilitate a discussion on what people want to happen to the area and how we go about achieving these objectives. There will be a series of events throughout the year, and there are currently spaces on the evenings of 8th March and 22nd March. The evening will begin at 7.30pm at The Pavilion on Castle Green with food provided, but please bring your own drinks. The Friends are limited on numbers so if interested you need to RSVP using the attached form as soon as possible and no later than 24th February. The only stipulation is an open mind and plenty of ideas! For more information contact: - Katie Bott Operations Manager Friends of Castle Green 07939 261640 operations@friendsofcastlegreen.org.uk 
Hereford's leading architectural historian, David Whitehead, will report on the rich heritage of Victorian buildings and gardens still surviving and disappeared at an event organised by Hereford Civic Society on Thursday 19th this week.   Good turn out for David Clarke's Revd Venn talk at The Barrels, and a generous audience contributed £60 for BHG to fund a spring programme. More later.
 There were many historic mills in the Bartonsham area, and traces of some of them still remain in street names and buildings.
Discover more in a fascinating illustrated article which follows on from our guided history walk over New Year. You may be surprised!  How did this Victorian change the lives of so many Herefordians? And why are his Kyrle Street model cottages under threat?
Find out at David Clarke's talk, The Barrels, this Tuesday Jan 10, at 7.30pm. Information about some historical wassailing in January, down Rotherwas way!   You are invited to a History Film Night on 6th December at Left Bank SpeakEasy Bar from 7pm. Come and see clips from Hereford Market and the old city gates, to Leominster in the 1950s, plus extracts from Catcher Media archives, Rural Media and Jason Hodges. All welcome - spread the word!
