More about this scene
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.
