OUR nostalgia pictures this week show the lovely village of Orleton.

The village of Orleton is located midway between the historic market towns of Ludlow and Leominster, both some five miles away and is surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside with a pretty brook meandering through.

For many centuries the settlement revolved around agriculture and was self sufficient with its local produce, smiths, cobblers, clog makers, millers, stone masons, wheelwrights and carpenters.

The pictures are taken from the Facebook group Herefordshire Remembered and are reproduced here with their kind permission.

If you have any old photographs of Ledbury or the surrounding area please let us share them with Ledbury Reporter readers.

Simply email your old photographs to matthew.holmes@newsquest.co.uk
