Following the Romany Road

Visitors to Hereford's Record Office are promised a fascinating insight into the Romany Way of life in the county.

Specialist chronicler Mary Homer, who has dedicated her life to studying Romanies from Herefordshire and beyond, will be there to talk to visitors.

During the special exhibition, which takes place on Wednesday, November 21, from 7pm to 9pm, Mary will have some of the thousands of photographs she has collected on view.

Mary will also have examples of memorabilia, from beautifully crafted model wagons to colourful and intricate paper flowers, on display.

Throughout the evening she will be on hand to share some of the tales she has gathered over many years and hopes to attract new contributions of memories.

Light refreshments will be available.

Rhys Griffith, senior archivist, said: "Mary's collections offer a fascinating insight into a changing world. Her work has ensured that endangered Romany traditions will be remembered in the future".
