Hi - there's quite a bit if you Google it - explanation of name & info that it was demolished in 1778.

Would you believe I can't find it now!!!!!!!

I've a feeling there was a ref to the National Archives & something about there being two lots of

cottages & one was called The Harp. Apologies for being so useless - perhaps someone cleverer

than me (that's most people, I hear you say) might have better luck.

Don`t worry Everlea I`m not good either, Think it might have possibly been no 54 now and then changed to the herdsman but not too sure thanks anyway

Thanks for your patience - if I do find it again, I'll certainly let you know.

the book  "Hereford through time" by Derek foxton has a photo of widemarsh st about 1966, which clearly shows the herdsman as being the old harp hotel then.

Morning - I've found something!

I entered "Hereford" after name & more entries came up, mostly ref. to 19th c.

The National Archive one says "Four cottages & adj. cottage; Wellington Arms(Formerly The Harp &

The Voluteer) at Widemarsh Gate & adj the above: Five cottages built on a parcel of garden ground

on the north side of the city wall between the wall & town ditch."

www.nationalarchives.gov.uk>Search the archives>Access to archives

The other one about it being demolished is www.localhistories.org/hereford.html - but you should

be able to see that all the other mentions by just Googling "Harp without Widemarsh Gate

Hereford."

Hope this helps.
