About Worcester
Worcester is a city in Worcestershire, England, 31 miles (50 km) southwest of Birmingham, 101 miles (163 km) west-northwest of London and 27 miles (43 km) north of Gloucester.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Worcester was a major centre for glove making, employing nearly half the glovers in England at its peak (over 30,000 people). In 1815 the Worcester and Birmingham Canal opened, allowing Worcester goods to be transported to a larger conurbation.
In the 1950s and 1960s, large areas of the medieval centre of Worcester were demolished and rebuilt as a result of decisions by town planners. There is still a significant area of medieval Worcester remaining, examples of which can be seen along City Walls Road, Friar Street and New Street, but it is a small fraction of what was present before the redevelopments.
The current city boundaries date from 1974, when the Local Government Act 1972 transferred the parishes of Warndon and St. Peter the Great County into the city.
The city is best known for its magnificent Cathedral but is also famous for the world-renowned Worcester Porcelain, the piquant Worcestershire Sauce and the most picturesque cricket ground in the country.
Worcester is surrounded by some of the most beautiful country landscapes in England. Most notably the Malvern Hills, which tower gracefully above the river and city and have been described by some as a mountain range in miniature.
