The A49/A556 was the way north before the motorways, (nearly always got lost in Shrewsbury).Hats off to you for being at both matches.
Just out of curiosity: how advanced was the motorway network by that point? (I know very well that there isn't a motorway very near Hereford, because I went to school not very far from there, although I see that there is now something called the M50, which can't be too far away).
Also, what kind of car doesn't have a heater?! Even in ’67? Or was it just broken?
Fun fact about Hereford (which I'm sure you know, but others may not, and probably don't give a damn): all the original Pretenders, bar Chrissie Hynde, came from there.
Edit: well, I stand corrected! The M50 extension is much older than I thought.
I did enjoy my time in Hereford. Got to see "The Radford goal" and John Charles score a header from the half-way line, plus a Nurses training college. Only down side was marrying, my now, ex.
Old Vauxhall Viva (circa 1964), heater/cooler never worked and constantly blocked carburettor jets.
Went back 2 years ago to "The Courtyard" for a Guns 'n' Roses tribute band (family involved).
