Arable land, Elms Green The square is not all Leominster bypass! This is a large arable area just above the floods along the Arrow. Winter planting means a lot of soil is exposed to winter rainfall and the rivers are now running red with lost soil. Nearby much of the land is under water with the A49 running along a causeway.

Railway at Ford Bridge Taken from the footpath which crosses the line at this point. There used to be a proper level crossing here, but it was closed when the Leominster bypass (the road to the left of the shot) was opened. I missed a passing train, which would have added interest to this picture, by perhaps half a minute, which is entirely typical of my luck.

Ford Bridge railway station The old station at Ford, long closed and now used as a private residence. The old platform edge can just be made out in front of the house. The old and new alignments of the A49 can be seen running either side of the railway. The station was closed in 1954.

Ford Bridge station house Another shot of the old railway station at Ford in Hereford (yes, the village is called Ford but the station was called Ford Bridge. I don't know why). Taken from the old A49, now a B road.

Hereford Road Once the A49, this is still a busy road. It used to run through water meadows, now much of the land is either marshland (shown as a fishery on the map) or growing poplars.

Marsh, Elms Green Mapped as a fishery, there were once pools beyond a bund here and not long before that an ordinary field. Now there are patches of marshy ground.
