Black and White House Museum

Hereford

Discover the history of Hereford City on the ground floor and then explore the rooms which give a glimpse into daily life during the 17th century.

The Black and White House is a remarkably well preserved example of a 17th Century timber-framed building and is situated in the heart of Hereford, surrounded by the commercial centre of the city. It is a startling sight, standing as the sole reminder of times-gone-by in the middle of a modern shopping precinct. 

Enjoy the hands on activities and look out for special family events. For those unable to climb the stairs, a virtual tour is situated on the fully-accessible ground floor. There are also Braille and tactile images for the blind and visually impaired.
