Where is hereford herefordshire

Herefordshire is known as a historic and ceremonial county. It is held within the West Midlands region of England. It is part of a unitary district which is formally known as the County of Herefordshire. We'd be much better off in Worcestershire as you Herefordians would be in Wales. Here in Bromyard we always have considered Worcester to be our 'big' centre anyway.

Herefordshire was only created 10 years ago on the grounds of a stupid little municipal whim, and 10 years down the line, look at what a backward little place it has become. It cannot even afford to keep it's roads and pavements even! Only a bit of Welsh wisdom can sort the isolated shambles of a county out west and south west of here, and let the eastern half be returned to Worcs as it was before Midlander So, sir henffordd, how about marching in Westminster and Birmingham to demand that Herefordshire as a county is recognised by the powers that be instead of being constantly forgotten?

For instance campaigning for the dualling of the A road which will give the County a fast link with the reat of the world - instead of wanting to 'jump ship'and be a burden on already fragile Welsh resources. I re-iterate my point. Herefordshire is as proud to be English as Powys and Monmouthshire are to be Welsh. Recognition by the outside world is what's needed here. Sir Henffordd Herefordshire has much more in common with Wales than England, the longer the so called 'English' inhabitants of Herefordshire insist on remaining a part of a country that practically ignores their existence then the the sooner it will dissappear.

Hereford United supporters consider Shewsbury Town's visit a 'local derby' yet it is 60 miles away! Split the county down the middle and return the Western region to it's rightful home. Wales begins at the Monnow Bridge, Pontrilas. Perhaps we wouldn't be having this debate if the inhabitants of the county actually tried to make their voices heard and then, the place might actually find its way on to the map. Hereford is geographically and characteristically Welsh 1.

Herefordians tend to support the Welsh rugby team rather than the English. Any Hereford retailer will tell you that Welsh rugger shirts outsell English ones! We pay 'Welsh Water' rates, not Severn Trent! Our rail transport links have long since favoured Wales rather than England, in fact both Hereford and Leominster stations are operated from Wales.

That way the stupidly run Herefordshire Council can be taken care of once and for all. Now we need Plaid Cymru and other Welsh nationalists to stand in parishes in the western half of the administrative region to get the ball rolling!

Cymru am byth! England for ever! Hereford in Wales NOW! Welshman in Exile Whatever you do, don't allow Hereford to become part of the bleak, corrupt, mediochre and poverty-hit disgrace that is modern Wales, run for the financial benefit of half a dozen Welsh Nationalist families who live comfortably on the South Coast. The light-hearted term 'Taffia' is sadly all too true. If the people of modern Rome were legally obliged to speak Latin all of a sudden 'because it was their birthright' and discrimination began against businesses and individuals for speaking Italian, do you think for one second that they'd put up with it?

This is what has happened with the Welsh language, and it has been partially responsible for the dire state in which the Principality finds itself. If you can find an example of ultra-nationalism being a positive influence on modern Europe, feel free to point one out. Les hereford was once in wales until borders were moved i thought,I would welcome the move ,maybe we could get a decent road system ,even ludlow has a bypass,and maybe we could get some investment into local industries as well.

Neale Martin i would rather stay on the english side of the fence thank you. Bryn Goodall We have to become part of Wales, theres so much rugby on SC4 more sport on tele has to be a plus. But on a better point we wouldnt be question for our weird accent or some of the words we use well i use. Sarah Davies I'd love hereford to be part of wales. People like me who live on the borders, when travelling to other parts of the country are frequently asked if we are welsh- because the accent sounds so similar!

Don I agree with Lover of the Ford Hereford is English and always will be. I'm not giving up Hollyoaks for anyone else either!!!. Wenglishman The dispute is not about Hereford, it's about Herefordshire- read the title! Stop looking at history with selective memories! Information provided by Archenfield Archeology and taken from the Herefordshire history website:"Hereford was one of the first towns founded in England after the end of Roman Rule.

Early Hereford was a frontier town on the border between kingdoms inhabited by the ancestors of the Welsh and of the English before there were such countries as 'Wales' and 'England'. The English never totally conquered what is now modern Herefordshire as the many Welsh place-names in the county attest - parts of Herefordshire were never in 'Anglo-Saxon' England.

Juliet Gallagher Why! Where would this Welsh invasion stop. No no no! Laura No! The way Herefordians, english people feel about Hereford means it could simply never be in Wales. People will not stand for it, free nhs is not enough to make any true Herefordian want to be welsh! Rachel Evans I can see why people want to stick with their heritage etc but I love next to the Rotherwas industrial estate and have see the start of the building of the Rotherwas bypass road - it cuts straight across beautiful country side and there are yet more housing estates to be built around that.

There used to be a railway stop at rotherwas - why not bring it back?! Then there would be no need to ruin the reputuaion of our beautiful countryside which has been sold off for the road and houses.
