We see the ’Old House’ - a timbered building from Elizabethan times. In Widemarsh Street there is the house where the famous actor David Garrick was born. Shots of Coningsby Hall, founded in 1614 for old-age pensioners inspired Hereford citizen Nell Gwyn to ask King Charles to build the Chelsea Hospital.
