Hi, nice and interesting video. My dads family came from the blockhouse, dad was born in bowling green terrace I think, my great uncle was the landlord of the Waterloo pub for years, I’ve traced a lot of family living there over a long period. The name was Andrews, also the Holes. Cheers (you don’t have a photo of the Waterloo pub? Been trying to find one for years)

A really nice video thanks for posting it.

Duftys shop in park street ...later wells eectrial.mum and dad's shop

great to see Worcester how it was. Thank you

Always liked goings to Worcester since i was a kid so much history and a great city

This is such a melancholic and lovely glimpse back at the city as it was - so much was thrown away.

anyone remember young Mr Pratley in the shambles? 80s

lovely!

The streets looked so much cleaner than they do now. Fast food disease has made us fat, the streets dirty and plagues of vermin.

I’ve lived in Diglis twice and been on the severn since 1980. There’s something very special about Diglis basin and there will always be a part of me there and a part of Diglis in my heart. Thankyou for posting this.

a beautiful song

Excelente

Wonderful music wonderful words!!!

Wow - I have no recollection of the passenger overbridge at Foregate Street station. Do you happen to know when that was demolished? I guess the photo would be between 1958 and 1965 judging by the DMU.

Thank you Keith! In my schooldays my two favourite shops in Worcester were Frosts - for model railways and Porters for electrical items. That picture of Porters is exactly how I remember it. Only in very recent years have I thrown away the TV aerial I bought there. It could be the one shown in the window!

Wonderful and sad😔

Hardly any changes they made were for the better. We've lost so much that, if it had been kept and renovated, would have enhanced our precious city. Far too many jewels were destroyed in the name of ''progress''. But thank you, Mr Lewis, for reminding us how it used, so that we can look through the greyness of today and see the well-loved buildings that we remember.

Good to see pictures of the old days! (I'd have liked to have seen dates on the photos, though.)

Absolutly awesome thanks

What a fabulous well presented personal story.

At last a truly poignant and evocative video! I was brought up in Portsmouth and although differing areas I remember the streets the cars and most of all the people of those times. How different to our world now! Well done Keith, and thank you!

Love Worcester, stationed at Norton Bks in 71, loved Norton Bks, beautiful countryside & town centre. Would start our pub crawl at Dudfields, Shakespeare, Horn & Trumpet, Dolphin, Dive Bar (hic), stagger to Swan & Two Necks & a good Chinky curry or saveloy & chips, taxi Norton, bed 🥱😴

Was stationed at Norton Bks 1971 & loved the Bks which is rare in soldiering & also Worcester, married there till 1986, worked at Berrows Newspapers & miss the place every day & my ashes will be scattered there.

I came to Worc in 1971 as a soldier at Norton Bks. Bliss, Norton Bks was the best ever & the town centre & the area became my home. I married a local lass but sadly parted. I unfortunately don't live there now & miss it every day, I still visit & go to the pubs still left, ahhh the Dive Bar at the weekend was heaving, so many pubs in a small centre. The pub crawl. Secret fav was the Gaiety Bar.

How heartfelt and moving that was . You deserve the very best of recognition. RESPECT to you.

This is beautiful, so well made, like the houses in it.

Worcester and the vinegar branch railway crossing. My adopted home town and county now, much better than my real one nowadays where Robin Hood was supposed to roam. Nice little clip, well done.

The last picture of the bridge was something I painted on a local art trip with Bishop Perowne cica 76/77

Great to see some of these lost places again 🙏🏼😊 ATB Simon 👍🙏🏼

I understand that the condition of many of these terraced houses was very poor and at the time it must’ve seemed that demolition was the only option. I cannot but reflect that had wiser counsel prevailed as it would today many of these buildings would’ve been saved and we would’ve had a much nicer city. Rose tinted spectacles I know. But I am reminded of the motto of Banks‘s brewery. “Unspoilt by progress“

Many moons ago I used to sing this hymn at at Richard’s 😊🙏🏼 A beautiful & stirring Hymn it is 🙏🏼 Beautifully played Thanks for this Subscribed 🤝😊 Best wishes Simon 😊🙏🏼

Lovely film some places I remember some I don’t but enjoyed very much 😊🙏🏼 Thrand best wishes Simon 👍😊

How I wish Worcester was left alone all those years ago I will treasure for my lifetime of how the City originally was .. Worcester has changed so much now .. all those wonderful memories as a child .. thank you so so much for this wonderful memorabilia!

The words also fit well to John Denver's Annie's Song

Luv this one.

Great to see the old doctors surgery once again. I couldnt find a photo of that anywhere 👍

Great to see 👍

Great watch, thank you for sharing.

Those were indeed tough but happy days as a child, folks would say good morning to each other even if they didn’t know them, tin baths in front of the fire. I’m off to see my auntie today, she’s 86 I’m sure we’ll get the old photos out and swing the lamp, looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, almost brought a tear, thank you Keith

Beautiful. The modernist who wrecked our towns in the 60s are just about all gone now!

Wonderful.video, love the music too...👍😊❤

Memories from my childhood... I'm 70 Now, my Dad was a driver with the Midland Red Bus Company... Used to go for rides many a time with him, angel place a much visited "stop"... It's been 47 years since I lived in Worcester having moved to Perth Australia in 1977... Loved the melancholy & the very fitting music, played by yourself, wonderful... Thankyou...👍😊❤

Beautiful

Thank you Keith for a beautiful reminder of the hymn which tells us of our Lord's suffering and pain. I also like the way Dean Goffin treats it in The Road to Emmaus

1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 5:9

Any chance of some sheet music. This would be nice to do at my church.

Sad to see houses being demolished; once family homes!

Just beautiful

Keith would know if you seen any photos of brickfields Park it's where I used to play on in the 60s 70s
