I have been living in the United States for the past 28 years and have only been able to return to Ledbury on one short occasion.

I was born three miles out of Ledbury at Sunny Bank, Leddington, in 1927 and later lived at 73 Albert Road and then 73 The Homend; the first was demolished to make way for a by-pass and the second was modified and combined with 75 The Homend, to make a larger house.

I wonder if your readers have photos of either of these houses?

I was also wondering if any of your readers may have an old copy of Tilley's Almanac, which they no longer need. I would really appreciate a copy if anyone has one to spare.

Wishing you and your readers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
