Description
Worcester's story is one of contrasts, from its magnificent medieval cathedral to its thriving porcelain industry. In Lost Worcester, local author Ray Jones explores the city's history over more than 100 years, focusing on what has been lost.
The book delves into industries that once drove the city's prosperity, such as glove-making and car components, as well as the Three Counties Show and agriculture. It also examines the career of William Henry Barribal, a Worcester-trained artist whose designs appeared on postcards and playing cards.
Through images of the city centre and its suburbs, Lost Worcester presents an informative and illuminating portrait of the city's past, shedding light on the people and places that have shaped its history.
