Herefordshire Then and Now

Alfred Watkins(1855-1935) was a Herefordshire born pioneer photographer and inventor. He was known as the inventor of the first commercially available light-meter, which was famously used by expedition photographer Frank Hurley as he documented Captain Scott's attempt to reach the South Pole in 1910 . His photographs are a lasting document of a county which has now faded into memory. In this book English Photojournalist Jim Wood has followed in Watkins' footsteps around the county of Herefordshire placing his camera where Watkins placed his to show how much or little it has changed in the past century.
