All that is left of the old Ronkswood hospital.
Since the new Worcester Royal Hospital was built the old Ronkswood site has been levelled apart from this building which still carries communications antennae. Ronkswood was used during the 2nd world war for treating large numbers of injured soldiers.
Worcestershire County Council offices
Built at great expense when Herefordshire and Worcestershire were amalgamated in the 1970s. they have now separated.
Nearly Redundant Roundabout
At the junction of the Worcester to Evesham road and what was the Worcester to Stratford-upon-Avon road. The latter is now a cul-de-sac since the building of the Eastern Relief Road.
DEFRA Offices, Whittington Road Worcester
Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs now occupy these "Government Offices" based on the old "temporary" war time single story spurred buildings.
Trotshill Roundabout
One of the many roundabouts along the eastern relief road opening up the land between the city of Worcester and the M5 motorway for development into housing estates with attractive names like Long Meadow, The Lyppards and The Berkeleys.
Footpath to Withy Wells
Looking south east along a ploughed out public footpath towards Kings Wood.
Footpath to Round Hill, near Spetchley Park.
Looking north east along the path. The road over the cattle grid goes to Cudleigh Court Farm.
M5 Motorway
Looking south west from the high point of this square. The motorway dominates the whole of this square and many nearby if not always visibly then always with the constant roar of the road noise. In the far distance the outline of the Malvern hills can just be seen.
Old Road from The Elms to Cudleigh Court
Still a public footpath. Possibly laid out as a 12 foot access road at the time of the inclosures. Notice how the ground beneath the oak tree is frost free. Looking north east from the M5 motorway towards the stream.
Old road under the M5
Old road from Swinesherd to Old House Farm. Still a bridleway, viewed from the south-east.
Allotments at the end of Foxwell Street Worcester
The railway from Bristol and London passes in a cutting behind the bushes on its way to Shrub Hill station about a mile to the right.
The new Tallow Hill
A different view of Worcester's Tallow Hill with a modern road and retail sheds replacing a tortuous canal bridge and a well loved pub. The real eyesore though is the multistorey office building obscuring Shrub Hill station.
Worcester Sixth Form College
Built in the 60's as the Girls grammar for the area it now provides up to the minute education for both sixth formers and adults seeking A levels and other entry qualifications for university and other higher education.
