Baggallay Street, Hereford

A side street viewed from the Whitecross Road end. My guess on seeing the unusual street name that perhaps it was a Hereford version of back alley was fanciful. The street is probably named after Sir Richard Baggallay (1816–1888), who was Member of Parliament for Hereford from 1865 to 1868.
