    Celebrating 80 years of city boxing club (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    AMERICAN troops left behind a few things when they returned home from Worcestershire after the Second World War but among the most useful, although they didn’t know it then, was some boxing equipment. Gloves, ring ropes, the sort of equipment they had used as part of their fitness training. Eighty years later they would be amazed what this virtually throw-away kit led to. Because soon after Uncle Sam’s sons boarded the last military ship back to the Land of the Free their old gear was being put

    Worcester Police flattened city gang leaders in back-street battle (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    CHICAGO might have employed Eliot Ness and his Untouchables to fight the bootlegging gang of Al Capone but here in Worcester, where we do things slightly less lavishly, it was a trio of local coppers who took on three criminal kingpins in a back-street scrap to settle who ruled the city turf. The year was 1912 and the men of Worcester City Police were getting mightily hacked off by the tirade of constant assaults and general disrespect coming their way from the ne’er-do-wells of the slum quarter

    When Worcester was invariably at the forefront of mail distribution (opens the original)

    CONSIDERING right now the Royal Mail is rather under the pump from frustrated customers who reckon they could walk with the letter quicker than post it, come with me back to the glory days. For it was 35 years ago, in 1991, that Royal Mail’s Parcelforce Worcester depot beat 164 others to be judged the Best in Britain for customer service. In fact over the centuries Worcester has invariably been at the forefront of mail distribution. Not only round the county but round the country. The first meth

    The Ronkswood lad who hit big with The Bump and sang with Mike Oldfield (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    IT wouldn’t enhance a serious prog rocker’s reputation much to have it known he once took lead vocals on that 1974 glam rock disco classic The Bump. “Knick knock on the door, bump your baby just a little bit more”, etc, etc. But, as all aspiring artists know, your nose goes where the money flows and Barry Palmer wasn’t about to give up on a good thing. Anyway it was better than painting and decorating for the Co-op in Worcester and eventually led to singing vocals for legendary musician and prod

    How Worcester's Comer Gardens got its name (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    DON’T expect it’s a question that keeps you awake at night but ever wondered why the Comer Gardens area of Worcester is so named? After all, most neighbourhoods of the city have houses with gardens but you don’t get Brickfields Gardens, Pitmaston Gardens or Sidbury Gardens. Yet the answer is that simple. For when they built a group of houses along a quiet rural lane on the west side of the River Severn in the 1850s, the properties were provided with particularly long front gardens. Indeed, why n
