The Commandery, 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
Worcester Cathedral and river Severn
Taken from on railway viaduct (legally I might add!)
Worcester Shrub Hill Station.

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.
Powick Bridge, Worcester
The old Powick Bridge (its function as the crossing for the main road to Malvern is now carried out by a newer bridge) was the site of the first and last actions of the English Civil War. The first was a skirmish in 1642 between Parliamentarian forces carrying Oxford University's gold plate and the young Prince Rupert, sent to intercept it. The last was in the Battle of Worcester in 1651, an unsuccessful action by Charles II in an attempt to regain power.
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.
