Ross-on-Wye

Under the back right of the market house, two people can just be made out watching what is going on and the man sat on the steps in the centre of the picture appears to be smoking his pipe. Under the market house, can be seen the fire ladder/trolley at the front corner and behind the left hand corner ofthe market house appears to be another ladder or a step ladder. Just to the left of the market house, is H. C. Jefferies who were a news agent and stationers.

This postcard, which was used in 1997 but the photo is from the 1970s, showing the Market Square and a market is in full flow selling various produce.

In Kyrle House is Hart's the chemist and the Ross Gazette dating the shot to post 1915. The library sign can also be seen above the Ross Gazette entrance. Interestingly, the time is exactly 9 o'clock according to the Market House clock.

In this shot of the Market House from Broad Street on the left the original W.H.Smiths sign can be clearly seen. In the middle of the shot the road sign showing the routes out of Ross has the roads to Coleford, Monmouth, Hereford and Gloucester marked.

The shops behind the Market House can be clearly seen; to the left is Hart's the Chemists, to the right is Lawerence & Fowler's print shop and in the shop directly behind the Market House can be seen To Let signs.
