Old Market, Hereford

The Old Market Hereford is confusingly named. Yes, it was the site of an old market, but it has been completely redeveloped and everything about it shouts "new". Consequently, anyone going along hoping for some traditional atmosphere, history, old-style shops and black and white timber framing, will be disappointed because everywhere is glass, steel, concrete and brick. The owners clearly think the architecture doesn't have sufficient appeal because  a few times a year they change the "mobile" decoration that hangs above the main shopping street. This summer giant flip-flops greeted the visitor.
