Carousel Herefordshire Life Through a Lens

Following Stories from the Hop Yard and Chewing the Cud, this new Catcher Media film delves deep into the Derek Evans photographic archive from the 1950s-1970s to bring you the stories behind his photographs of the county, from the May Fair to Hereford United, from the Fownhope Heart of Oak Walk to jazz clubs, from childhood to politics, and much more. 

The Herefordshire Life Through a Lens project explores the huge collection of photographs (790 exhibition images and hundreds of prints) and 200,000+ negatives of Herefordshire photographer Derek Evans, digitising the archive and creating an oral history from Herefordshire people about the memories they evoke.
