CELEBRATIONS were held to mark the re-opening of Hereford's Black and White House following a refurbishment.

The museum, in High Town, shows what life was like in Hereford during the 17th century, using authentically re-created rooms, original furniture and everyday family items.

A Civil War re-enactment regiment called the Colonel John Fox Regiment of Foote marched through the city centre on Saturday morning before Colonel John Fox ceremonially opened the museum.

As part of the investment by Herefordshire Council there are new displays on every floor.

There is also a unique 3D model of Hereford’s city centre in the 17th century.

Entrance to the museum is £2.50 for adults (18 years and over) and £1.50 for children.
