Ludlow's Feathers Hotel as it was around 100 years ago
LUDLOW's famous Feathers Hotel was built in 1619 by an attorney, Rees Jones as a private home.
It gets its name from the motifs of ostrich feathers in the building's timber facade.
After the Civil War, the building became an inn before eventually becoming the Feathers Hotel in 1863.
This picture, kindly supplied by Ludlow Museum and Resource Centre, shows the Feathers in the era around the First World War.
