Work has now been completed on the wall, through the council’s service delivery partners Amey and sub-contractors I. J. Preece and Son Ltd, based in Hereford.
The wall, which collapsed some two years ago, has now been completely rebuilt using a mixture of the remaining stone and new stone sourced from a local quarry.
During works on the wall, archaeologists discovered stone foundations that date from Roman times and part of the medieval Bishop’s Palace, and the rebuilt wall has been designed to ensure these remains are preserved.
Councillor John Stone, chairman of Herefordshire Council, said: “This project has been a huge success and the contractors have done a splendid job. This area now offers a splendid view and Prospect is a very fitting word for it.”
