Our projects for 2024 and 2025

EXPLORING ROTHERWAS - THEN AND NOW

We will be arranging free walks and open days to share the history of ROF Rotherwas and the people that worked there during both world wars and to create and develop a sense of pride in where we live. Our walk leaders will show and explain why the site was built and the changes of the past century.  We’ll be working with schools, colleges, clubs and social groups across the county.

We’ll be hosting organised search days to help people discover their family links to Rotherwas and how they can find out more about the history of where they live and work.

We’ll be working with professionals, volunteers and staff at the Herefordshire Archive and Record Service to create and maintain a Roll of Honour for all munitions workers from Rotherwas and other ROF sites across the country.

This project has been made possible thanks to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
