Foy, Herefordshire
Foy is a hamlet and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, north of Ross-on-Wye. The civil parish of Foy includes Hole-in-the-Wall, and Old Gore, within its boundaries. Hole-in-the-Wall on the east bank of the River Wye is accessible by a footbridge, built in 1919 by David Rowell & Co.. It featured in the British television series Survivors, in an episode titled "Gone Away" (1975).[1]
When Peter Mandelson was introduced to the House of Lords, he was introduced as Baron Mandelson of Foy in the county of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the county of Durham. He had bought a cottage in the village in the mid 1980s and sold it in 1992. The Labour Party's red rose logo is said to have been inspired by a shrub in his garden there.[2]
