The cycle and walking bridge from St James to Rotherwas is now officially the Canary Bridge and is lit with yellow light during the hours of darkness.
Originally it would have been unveiled as the sun was setting on the 75th anniversary of VE Day with fun, laughter and, no doubt, some tears, but these are not normal times. We hope that it will give people some light and hope and offer a chance to honour and remember the work done by all of the Rotherwas workers and munitions workers across the country.
A temporary sign is in place and the permanent sign will be installed as soon as possible.
This has been made possible thanks to the Chairman of Herefordshire Council Sebastian Bowen, the Lord Lieutenant Lady Darnley and her staff Michelle and Vicky, and to Rear Admiral (retired) Philip Wilcocks and Air Vice Marshal (retired)Mike Smart and the VE Day organising committee. Sincere thanks to Mark Edwards and the team at Herefordshire Council for installing the lights during the complications of the present restrictions. A huge thanks to friend and heritage supporter Chris Smart for taking the fabulous photos of the bridge which you can see on this site.
