Facts & Figures About Herefordshire FACTS & FIGURES ABOUT HEREFORDSHIRE: BROMYARD WARD PROFILE The aim of this profile is to draw together useful information about a particular area of Herefordshire, and how it compares to the county overall. It is hoped that it will help users build a picture of the area, and provide evidence that can be used for a range of purposes, including funding bids, strategy documents, business plans and school projects.

Ward Area Profile Bromyard Ward LOWER SUPER OUTPUT AREAS (LSOAS) AND PARISHES WITHIN BROMYARD WARD W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W Data has traditionally been available for administrative wards, but these aren't really suitable for statistics as they vary widely in population size and boundaries can change frequently. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) used the 2001 Census to define statistical geographies (lower super output areas) of about 1,500 people. Wherever possible information for LSOAs in the ward is presented in this profile along with the ward as a whole. If this data is not available or numbers are too small, ward-level only is given. LSOAs nest into Herefordshire's current wards, and usually follow civil parish boundaries - although some rural LSOAs cover several parishes. The map shows how the LSOA and parish boundaries relate to the ward. The table below lists all LSOAs (named by the Research Team) within the ward, and which parish(es) they cover. Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) Covers parish(es) Pencombe with Grendon Warren, Little Cowarne, Burley Gate Stoke Lacey, Ullingswick, Felton, Ocle Pychard Bromyard Rural Bromyard & Winslow (most of) Avenbury, South Bromyard Avenbury, Bromyard & Winslow (small part) Bromyard Central Bromyard & Winslow (small part) Herefordshire Council Research Team Version 2.1, July 2011 page 2 of 10 Ward Area Profile Bromyard Ward GENERAL CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION AGE STRUCTURE OF WARD POPULATION†, mid-2009 (ONS small area estimates) Age No. % of total County AGE STRUCTURE in ward breakdown 9% 0-4 300 5% 5% % of total in ward 5-9 300 5% 5% 8% County breakdown 10-14 300 5% 6% 15-19 300 5% 6% 7% 20-24 300 5% 5% 25-29 300 5% 4% 6% 30-34 300 5% 4% 35-39 300 5% 6% 5% 40-44 400 7% 7% 45-49 400 7% 7% 4% 50-54 400 7% 7% 55-59 400 7% 7% 3% 60-64 500 8% 8% of PopulationTotal % 65-69 400 7% 6% 2% 70-74 300 5% 5% 75-79 300 5% 4% 1% 80-84 200 3% 3% 85+ 300 5% 3% 0% Total 6,000 100% 100% Age Group Avenbury, Bromyard south Bromyard Burley Gate Bromyard Central Bromyard Rural LSOA LSOA Ward LSOA LSOA Herefordshire POPULATION IN BROAD AGE-GROUPS†, mid-2009 (ONS small area estimates) Age No % No % No % No % No % % Under 16 200 13% 300 20% 200 14% 300 19% 900 15% 17% 16-64 800 53% 1,000 67% 800 57% 1,100 69% 3,600 60% 61% 65 and over 500 33% 300 20% 400 29% 300 19% 1,500 25% 22% Total 1,500 100% 1,500 100% 1,400 100% 1,600 100% 6,000 100% 100% ETHNICITY & COUNTRY OF BIRTH (2001 CENSUS) % of population of ethnic origin other than 'White British' 1.3% 2.6% 2.3% 2.7% 2.4% 2.5% % of population born in a country outside of the UK 1.7% 1.7% 3.4% 2.9% 2.4% 3.3% POPULATION DENSITY, mid-2009 Area (square kilometres) 12.0 12.0 50.0 0.7 74.7 2,180 Population density (persons per square kilometre) 121.6 124.1 27.9 2,423.5 80.2 82.2 †Note, estimates are rounded to the nearest 100 so may not sum; percentages are based on rounded figures.

  • THE HEREFORDSHIRE REGIMENT Their First World War 'Story' – April
    THE HEREFORDSHIRE REGIMENT Their First World War ‘Story’ – April 1916 The ‘Bigger’ Picture The Home Front THE IRISH REBELLION - Disguised German transport ‘Aud’ sinks herself after capture while trying to land arms on Irish coast. - Roger Casement lands in Ireland from a German submarine and is arrested. 24th - Outbreak of Rebellion in Ireland. 27th - Martial law proclaimed in Dublin. - Considerable concern about the impact of the rebellion of the Irish units serving in the British Army. Rebels set up HQ in the General Post Office building. There were isolated actions in other parts of Ireland, and attacks on Police and Army barracks. With vastly superior numbers and artillery, the British Army quickly suppressed the Rising; the rebels agreed to an unconditional surrender on Saturday 29 April. Most of the leaders were executed following courts-martial. The Dublin GPO building after the rebellion Irish Rebels man a barricade British troops man a barricade - Munitions Factory Explosion 115 workers killed at Faversham Munitions factory when a huge explosion ripped through the gunpowder mill at Uplees, near Faversham. A store of 200 tons of Trinitrotoluene (TNT) was detonated following some empty sacks catching fire. TNT and ammonium nitrate were used to manufacture amatol. The weather might have contributed to the start of the fire. The previous month had been wet but had ended with a short dry spell so that by that weekend the weather was ‘glorious’ ... providing perfect conditions for heat-generated combustion. Diplomatic - Greek Government refuse overland route for transport of Serbian army from Corfu to Salonika. - Italian Government issue decrees prohibiting trading with Germany - Agreement signed at Berlin for transfer of British and German wounded and sick prisoners of war to Switzerland - French and Russian Governments conclude ‘Sykes-Picot’ agreement for eventual partition of Asia Minor.
