No town web
site would be complete without a collection of archive photographs
for those who enjoy nostalgia and this page has links to various
photographs I have either taken myself or been given for use by
various people. My own photographs of Ross-on-Wye can only go
back as far as 1976 as that is when I took up residence in the
town, having moved here from Essex at the age of 22 years. When
this web site was in its planning stage however, in 2000 AD, Chris
Robertson kindly allowed me to go through the Ross Gazette collection,
which was in boxes and in no particular order at the time. There
was also little information available to go with the photographs
I borrowed to scan. Those I did scan can be seen on five pages
linked from below. Since launching this site, a few people have
sent me material to use in this section and these are also linked
to from below. Of my own photographs, I didn't really take many
of the town until the idea of this web site came to me. There
are a few below however, of various events I happened to be part
of. During the years of 1979 to 1981 a friend and I used to go
flying in a Cesna 172 aircraft once per month and some of the
photographs I took whilst engaging in this activity are shown
below.
I hope you
enjoy viewing these pages.
