River Severn at Worcester

The Commandery was a Civil War Museum in Worcester, but since 2007 has been open as an historic property, situated along Worcester and Birmingham Canal

Cathedral Ferry, Worcester
Still operated by volunteers during the summer months, it takes passengers across the River Severn behind the Cathedral.
Winter in Fort Royal Park
Fort Royal's moment of fame came in September 1651, when the Royal Standard of King Charles II was raised here, in an attempt to regain power from Oliver Cromwell. The Battle of Worcester was the last military action of the post Civil War period, with "crowning glory" for Cromwell and a long flight for Charles to Shropshire, then in a circuitous route to the South coast and escape to France. Fort Royal is now a public park and a favourite with photographers for its excellent view of Worcester Cathedral.
Westbury Street Bridge, Worcester
The bridge takes the Birmingham to Hereford railway over the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and Westbury Street, near the centre of Worcester. The bridge featured on a postage stamp for the 150 years of railways celebration. Various stories exist about the hole in the bridge, from dragon nests (fanciful) and civil war cannonballs (implausible) to engineering considerations (possible) and saving bricks (boring).
Diglis, Worcester and Birmingham Canal
The towpath here is closed at present (Jul 2005) while work goes on to redevelop the canalside. It will completely change the character of Diglis. Though I quite liked its neglected state.
Bromwich Promenade: Worcester
The Bromwich Promenade runs along the western bank of the River Severn and provides interesting views of the city centre and buildings. This view looks more or less east across the river towards the church in the north eastern section of the square.
