MSPCA trough - Well Dressing 2011 - Togetherness

The trough, erected at the beginning of the 20th century by the Malvern Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as a memorial to the horses who suffered in the Boer War, has been decorated by a team led by Stephanie Underwood-Webb. Begun as a solo venture it soon became a community project and has been rewarded with a Gold Award. "You aren't a proper couple until you understand everything the other hasn't said." The trough used to be located on the large oddly shaped traffic island in Barnards Green shopping area, but has been at this position, by the Guarlford straight for many decades. Worcestershire Beacon is in the distance. SO7945 : MSPCA trough - Well Dressing 2011 - Togetherness

Many of the buildings were built for workers on the Madresfield estate. The church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, was consecrated 10 November 1867. This view is from the Worcestershire Beacon.

The church spire to the left of centre is Holly Mount United Reformed Church. The infill television transmitter is to the right of the picture. This also transmits local radio and the structure is adorned with a plethora of aerials and microwave dishes.

Madresfield Court

Viewed from Lady Howard De Walden's Drive on North Hill. The court, currently covered in scaffolding, has been the ancestral home for several centuries of the Lygon family, whose eldest sons took the title of Earl Beauchamp from 1815 until 1979. It is the real location for Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited".

No longer a cattle grid across Eston Avenue, Malvern

Located near the Guarlford Road junction, a relic of the time before there were houses here. The grid is partly filled in, but any cloven-hoofed animal in the area could bypass the grid on the left or right.
