Notes From The Frith Files.

A Memory of Powick.

This photograph shows residents waiting for the No.144 Midland Red bus from Malvern to Worcester outside the village shops. Far left is EW Bird's butchers, left is Cromptons newsagents, off picture further left is Procters general store.  There were three shops in this row, all now closed.  The pub sign behind the lady in the centre is for the Coventry Arms which was down the unmade short lane to the side of the butchers.  This pub was one of three in the village and the first to close in the 1960s.  The lane leading up the hill is Kings Lane.  The tiny tree within the iron circular seat to the left of the cottage didn't last long as the road was widened.
