My exhibition of photos of Leominster from the 1980s has been re-hung in The Old Stable Gallery in the Information Centre in Corn Square Leominster. It will be on until 3pm 30th August 2025
About 2500 people visited during May 2025 and left about 200 comments as well as lots of great feedback on social media. A new project is being planned based on the positive response to these photographs. The stories, conversations, recollections and connections made this exhibition a success, so thanks to everybody who contributed them.
This photography exhibition consists of 33 black and white prints and a slideshow of 60 photos that reflect some of the people, places and culture of Leominster that I unwittingly captured as I taught myself how to take photos in my late teens and early 20s.
I’ve been taking photos around Leominster since the late 1970’s, however I have about 10,000 black and white film photos that I took from 1982 to 1999. I’ve scanned about 100 of these negatives and whittled the final selection down to these images, which will be on display until 31st May 2025 at The Old Stable Gallery in Leominster.
I’m hoping people will tell me who I photographed, as I often had no idea who people were!
The Old Stable Gallery is located within the town council building, at the back of the Information Centre at 11 Corn Square, Leominster, just keep going through the centre and a wonderful gallery space will appear.
The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday 9.30am to 4pm, unless there is a meeting being held. So if you are coming from afar, just give them a call on 01568 616460.

These portrait photographs and audio recordings aim to engage us with the extraordinary aspects of people who may appear ‘ordinary’ in day to day life.
