Dirty Old Town
Was a big city and full of traffic. A bit dirty I am afraid. The outskirts of the city where much nicer.
Evesham Election Enquiry 1880
After the General Election in 1880, an allegation was made that the successful candidate at Evesham had won the seat by means of influence and bought votes. As a result, an official enquiry was held that year at the Worcester Shire Hall. My great grandfather, Charles Kinchin, was a seventeen year old apprentice coachbuilder at the time, and was called to give evidence of what he had seen take place at the Woolpack Inn in Bengeworth prior to the election. As a result of the evidence given by him and many others the election result was declared void.
My Family Lived at CripplegateH.
This photo shows my mother, Thelma Simcock aged about 11. I have the identical postcard! I am unsure who the adult is, but probably her father. She had three sisters, so I think it shows one of them beside the adult. They lived in Cripplegate House, seen at the far end of the park. Her mother, Beatrice Simcock owned the house and ran a cafe there until at least 1928. My mother, who was the oldest daughter, hated the dark, old house. She often talked about having to scrub the stone steps with her sisters. It is such a shame that the house was knocked down!
Mr Claud Andrews
My grandfather who was Claud Andrews owned and ran the butchers shop nextdoor to Pratleys. I am looking to see if there are any old photos of his shop.
Place of Birth
I was born in one of the houses shown in this photograph. I lived there for about 4 years and recently went back to St Dunstan's Crescent just to see how much it has changed. I was pleasantly suprised...even the allotments just across the road, where I often went with my Grandad, is still there.
143
Well it was Malvern Road where I grew up and lived until I was 14.
Our family dwelled in no. 143- the vicarage for St. Johns church, half a mile away.
Malvern Road really is a 50s treat and helps form a marvellous, leafy suburb that is St. Johns.
Swimming Across The Severn
I remember swimming the width of the Severn and back again as a sea cadet at the age of 9 or 10, from the boathouse steps.
Living in Worcester
From June 1965 -May 1969 I lived with my family over the Stead & Simpsons shoe shop where my husband was the manager. This is the shop centre right of the picture with the 2 white blinds out. The large 3 bedroomed flat was on the top 2 floors and my youngest son was born Nov 1967 in the top floor bedroom. The shops on street level on this picture have changed, but the upper floors of all the buildings remain unchanged and the High Street is now pedestrianised.
