Photo of Worcester, The South African War Memorial 1907

More about this scene

This memorial stands outside the cathedral, close to the entrance to College Yard. It can not have been long built when photographed, for it commemorates those who died in the Boer War of 1899-1902. The iron railings shown in the photograph are no longer there, having been salvaged for scrap in World War Two.

The photo of the Crown took me back to the late '70's/early '80's. I was a young Civil Servant, & the Crown, with it's real ale, was my offices favourite haunt at lunchtime on payday. As we worked flexitime, 2 hour lunches were not uncommon, or finishing work early on Friday.

My father was a grocer with a shop in Stourport. Every Wednesday afternoon the shop was closed and he took my mother shopping to Worcester. In the school holidays I was also taken. His car was an Austin Saloon similar to the one in the photograph and the busy street is exactly as I remembered.
