Years ago my great Auntie Vi DAVIS, the one who lived on the corner of Oatleys Rd, worked here. One snowy xmas she found a pup in a chewed box took him home and he grew into a fawn greyhound. He hated boxes so he tore them to shreds hence he was called rip! ...LJ

Ledbury Reporter

The Reporter now has Archive photographs for the years 2005 - 2009 which you can view and order. Select a year then make sure Ledbury is the keyword entered before pressing GO. I have spent many an hour in the Ledbury Library looking through the old Reporters which are on microfiche. Support this great local paper.
