EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of Herefordshire, England, lies the picturesque town of Ross-on-Wye, as depicted in this 19th-century photograph. The image, captured in 1846 by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the town's charm and beauty that continues to draw visitors to this day. At the center of the photograph, the spire of St. Mary's Parish Church rises majestically against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the meandering River Wye. The church, with its intricate stonework and Gothic architecture, has been a landmark of Ross-on-Wye since the 15th century and remains an integral part of the town's history and identity. The River Wye, a popular tourist destination, flows gently through the town, adding to its natural allure. The river's serene waters reflect the beauty of the surrounding landscape, creating a scene that is both peaceful and breathtaking. The town of Ross-on-Wye, founded in the 13th century by the Normans, is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. The town's name is derived from the Old English words "ros" meaning "headland" and "wī" meaning "wood," reflecting its location at the head of the Wye Valley. This photograph, taken in the 19th century by Dugdale and Company, provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and charm of Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding countryside of Herefordshire.
