Monday July 8th

 Do you remember what Hereford was like
in 1984?

Reminisce with footage recorded around the city, and also some TV footage of events that happened back then:
The Queen and Prince Phillip visiting Bulmers.
Prince Charles and Princess Diana visiting the Cathedral, and the opening of Maylords.
​There is even a Christmas special. 
​Were you there?

Come and join us at the Barrels, back bar.
Film provided by Chris Ogleby, original footage filmed by his father Dennis Ogleby.
