Broad Street, Hereford, features a number of interesting and distinctive buildings. Prominent in the view above is the Public Library, Museum and Art Gallery housed in a Venetian Gothic building of 1872-4 by F.R. Kempson. The adjacent buildings, with the exception of that on left, share nothing in common except the same gutter height which is enough to hold the composition together. The modern building with blue tinted glass is faced with a brown stone that helps it to sit fairly comfortably next to its venerable neighbour. Thereafter it is the pale colour that links a sequence of new and old buildings before the street view is "closed" by the medieval tower and spire of All Saints on the High Street.
