The new apartment building near the Rowing Club progresses apace. The name Fryers Gate is a strange one; does it commemorate the old Fish and Chip shop which was near Asda or does it seek to evoke the smell of bacon and eggs frying in one of Hereford’s many cafes? Perhaps the name Friars’ Gate would have been more appropriate since it stands on the site of the medieval Grey Friars monastery.
