BEEHIVES and a whalebone are among the items on display at a new exhibition marking the work of famous Herefordian, Alfred Watkins.

Hereford Art Gallery and Museum has been transformed by large wood and stone structures and giant wall drawings for the exhibition, which runs until the beginning of next year.

The display also features 1912 film footage of the Hereford May Fair projected onto the floor.

The Just Go Straight On exhibition brings together sculptor David England, film-maker Richard Urbanski and writer Christine Watkins.

The event is a celebration of the work of pioneer and antiquarian Alfred Watkins, who is renowned worldwide as the discoverer of leylines.

The exhibition will also feature footage from the British Film Institute, a special object from the museum's Alfred Watkins collection and portable CD players so visitors can listen to a short story accompanying the displays.

"Watkins is such a fascinating figure," said Mr England.

"This has been a wonderful opportunity to respond to some of his ideas and his way of looking at the world."

The display is part of the Alfred Watkins project, the latest scheme in the county to benefit from the Local Heritage Initiative, run by the Countryside Agency with support from the Heritage Lottery Foundation.

Admission is free and opening times are 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday.
