Weobley, Herefordshire 1978

This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1978, features the picturesque black-and-white timber-framed architecture of Weobley, a village renowned for its heritage buildings in Herefordshire. The archival image documents a curving street corner dominated by the half-timbered facade of “Weobley Antiques,” which displays a traditional hanging sign and leaded glass windows. Parked directly in front of the shop is a dark green Morris Minor convertible with the registration FHY 160D and a black folded soft top. The surrounding structures showcase the classic West Midlands architectural style, including white-plastered infill, jettied upper storeys, and a mix of stone and brick foundations. To the right, another significant timber-framed building features The Red Lion Hotel with its prominent Red Lion sign. The scene is accented by wooden barrel planters filled with red flowers and a clear, bright sky. This factual record preserves the quintessentially English character and quiet village atmosphere of Weobley during the late 1970s.
