My wonderful childhood days
I remember the day we moved into this little village. It was freezing cold, must have been February, mum had put a heater on in the lounge & I was riding round it on my little tricycle, but I was only 18 months or so... We were waiting for our stuff to arrive including some carpets. I loved living in the village, I grew up there till the age of 12. I went to Claines Church of England school, then on to Witton Middle School in Droitwich. But I have wonderful memories, Mr & Mrs Goodwin in the post office, Mr Hadley in the paper shop (it was really only a shed on the side of the road lol) but we ...read more here

The Everett's of Droitwich
I do not know Westwood Park but am tracing my family tree - apparently my Great -grandparents lived there in 1940. They were Mr. & Mrs. Everett. Their daughter, Emma, married a Mr. Gately in 1931. My mother was born in 1940, named Alice Gately but sadly was given up for adoption. If anyone has any information about the family, present or past, I would be very grateful.

Edith Gummery
My Grandmother, Edith Joyce Gummery, who was born in Tibberton near Worcestor was a volunteer nurse during WWI and I have an entire autograph album of hers where wounded soldiers who were housed at Battenhall Lodge signed her book.

The Cadena Cafe
This shot of the High Street presents the signage for the Cadena Cafe, a chain of national cafes (in the 'Lyon's' mould) where shoppers met for coffee and light meals. I have fond memories of visiting the cafe with family and friends, and in particular the stairway down to the coffee lounge, below street level. The coffee lounge was, as I recall, adorned with plants and greenery in subdued lighting and a 'cozy' atmosphere. Worcester's beloved Cadena has now closed, and is now the premises of the Alliance and Leicester.

Extracts From Tibberton & Worcestershire books
Tibberton is situated to the north-east of Worcester on the line of the Birmingham to Worcester Canal. This
Victorian church, though interesting in its own way, is a poor substitute for the 13th-century structure demolished
to make way for its construction.
An extract from from"Worcestershire Photographic Memories".
Even by the 1960s the heyday of canals such as the Birmingham to Worcester was long past. But with their purely
commercial use at an end, the canals of the Midlands have become popular for recreation and havens for wildlife.
An extract from from"Worcestershire Photographic Memories".
During the latter half of the 20th century, villages such as Tibberton became favoured places to live for people
working in neighbouring cities. New buildings appeared for commuting residents.

Apart from the battle, Powick’s other main claim to fame is Powick Mills next to the bridge where the battle took place. Domesday Book (1086) recorded two mills here but it was in 1893 that Worcester Corporation purchased the site and built a combined steam- and water-driven hydroelectric facility (the first of its kind). It provided half the city’s supply until Worcester Power Station became operational in the early 20th century. Powick Mills continued to supply power until the 1950s. The mill buildings have recently been converted into apartments.
