Westons Cider has shared some photographs of its past with Ledbury Reporter readers.

Based in the Herefordshire village of Much Marcle, Westons have a long family history of premium cider-making with our roots going back to 1880.

Five Weston generations have worked with like-minded colleagues in the pursuit of their passion: creating authentic ciders that people will love.

Helen Weston, Managing Director said: "It all began in 1878 when Henry Weston, my great-grandfather, settled here and began to produce ciders and perries.

"Using the wide variety of regional fruit grown in the surrounding orchards, he started pressing and blending. The fermented juice soon proved so popular that his work evolved into a business. Today ‘The Bounds’, the charming 17th century farmhouse and cider mill where it all began, remains home to his craft.

"I’ve been Managing Director since 1996, and have been privileged to see some of the most exciting changes yet. Everyone remains passionate about producing the best cider. I like to think if my Great Grandfather were here, he’d be amazed – but also proud."
