Herefordshire Life Through a Lens: The Photos By Catcher Media An exhibition of photographic gems from the Derek Evans archive collection. Focusing on priceless scenes from Herefordshire Life from 1940s-1970s, the exhibition gives people a chance to “get up close and personal” with Derek’s actual exhibition prints created in his studio a few doors down on the third floor of No.43, Broad Street, many of which haven’t been seen for over 50 years, and which still look stunning. Catcher Media will be exhibiting in five venues across Hereford: Hereford Museum & Art Gallery, the Courtyard, Hereford Cathedral, HARC & Hereford College of Arts from Feb-April 2020. The photographic trail continues around the county in Ledbury, Ross, Kington & Leominster libraries. For linked events see Talks & Tours and Family Events pages and check out the website
