More about this scene
Battenhall lies off London Road and was first recorded in Norman times, when the Poer family held the manor for the annual rent of one lamprey. It later belonged to the priors of Worcester, who made a deer park and built a palace. After the Dissolution, part of the estate went to Worcester Cathedral and the rest fell into the hands of a succession of different families. The modern suburb originated with a Royal Agricultural Society show held at Battenhall in 1863. To create suitable access to the show, Battenhall Road was made and a residential suburb inevitably followed.
