THE DAUGHTER of a Hereford legend was joined by local retirees to celebrate the opening of McCarthy and Stone's latest development, William Grange, which has been named in honour of her father, William John Pullinger, a Great War hero and a local public figure.

Barbra Dawson , daughter of William John Pulllinger, said: "It was a pleasure to attend the opening of William Grange in honour of my father. The development provides an excellent solution for all those looking to enjoy an independent and active lifestyle in retirement, and I enjoyed meeting and chatting to the homeowners."

Comprising a selection of 54 one and two-bedroom retirement living apartments, exclusively for people aged 60 and over, William Grange at Friars Street offers retirees the opportunity to maintain an independent lifestyle.
