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 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!
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...👍😊❤
Dear@@keithlewis5526, thankyou for your kind reply... It is always a happy/sad experience watching your videos... Because I remember as a boy & teenager walking those streets of Worcester dreaming & wishing I was elsewhere in the World, living out my fantasies of great adventures in the great wide world... Now I have done all that... Well, truthfully, I wish I was back there finding out that my life has been just a dream after all & my Mom, Dad, family & Worcester are all just as I left them fifty years ago... Thankyou...👍❤
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.
If I remember rightly the park on tallow hill was divided into two with graves at the top and the park at the bottom nearer to the canal with a low wall in between. I can remember waiting in Angel Place, to get on a truck to go picking on a summer morning as a young teen to earn some money, and the Bakery in the old police station on St Nicholas street opposite A.V. Band funerals. The Lardy buns were great! Good to see old "Honky Fletchers," fish and chips are still in Lowesmoor after all these years. Tuppence worth of "scratchings," meant using my dinner money (for candy), instead of the school meals at St Georges School.
Mortuary Park? I remember when when Tallow Hill was developed, the local paper howled in horror at plague pits being excavated, that 'no one knew where there!' Magical footage, thank you, Mr Lewis.
