      You are on the other side of the river with views of the city, and (perhaps because of the enlarged university) you have acquired a new railway station, which is very unusual ! The area is called St Johns, the equivalent of Southwark to the City of London (but not particularly old) .

      Yes, it was. But it has now been damaged perhaps beyond repair by the ridiculous government edict of ''lockdown''. This will never be the Worcester we all loved - a lively, bustling, vibrant place, full of friendly and hopeful people. But we hope that you can find something to love in what's left of it.

      When I was there 1970-72 , it was still administratively a County Borough (similar to what would nowadays be called a "unitary authority"), and it was JUST big enough to pull this off satisfactorily, but only just. Hereford was not. As a student of Education, I marvelled at the ingenuity of 12 year-old boys with "circuit boards" at what I think was called the Royal Grammar School, which I suspect is where you might have been. Or were you at the posher Cathedral school ? Hereford was too small to have both, it was a disaster in Hereford, where I did a term of teaching practice. Also, surprisingly, the suburbs of Hereford are like Kidderminster, where I did some teaching practice too. The lesser Hereford grammar school was in these suburbs. So sad !

  • @mirpopolos6209
    @mirpopolos6209 2 роки тому +1

    Another beautiful one. We so often hear the Introduction and Allegro trotted out against a background of the Malvern Hills, but Elgar did after all start his career in Worcester before retiring to Malvern, and it works very well in your video.When we were first married we used to live in Great Malvern and went into Worcester almost every Saturday for two years, but I have scarcely been back to Worcester for 50 years. I am surprised to find it is better (according to you, anyway) ! Pedestrianisation helps, but there seem to be more timbered buildings than before ! Perhaps some old but rendered buildings have exposed their timbers (which has happened a little in Cambridge and Oxford, which never had so many to start with). Also, you have probably found streets we were not aware of . You have done a very good job.
    The Guildhall is indescribably beautiful and you have done it justice, BUT you could have shown a lot more of the Cathedral (with the tomb of KING JOHN), and indeed the churches. Even a glimpse of the curious railway stations. In the old days, we were surprised that the small town and city of Malvern and Worcester boasted four railway stations between them, but now there are five ! One is near the Worcester sauce factory, famous to your customers all over the world. When I lived near Worcester, and came in on the bridge across the river, I liked to think of it as 17th century London, lost for ever to the Great Fire. It must be about the same size.
    But Worcester, like even Gloucester (which has a much finer cathedral) is not really a tourist attraction, and it bears out a comment I made on Glastonbury. So does your video of Moreton-in-Marsh, which is not a spectacular town either. I said that Glastonbury, much appreciated by viewers to my surprise, was really (apart from its "weirdness") quite an ordinary town like many others nearby or elsewhere, but by going a bit further east or north one could find basically similar towns with interesting timbering and stonework thrown in. Your Worcester and your Moreton-in-Marsh illustrate that very well. I shall watch more of your work.

    • @CarolandDerek

      Know what you mean, but when we film we try to not show the parked cars, rubbish bins, and the abundance of signage. We have filmed the cathedral, but now we know a little more about videography, we may try to film another. Thanks 🙏 for your comment we really appreciate it 🙏👍

      @@CarolandDerek When I wrote this, I did not realise that you had done the Cathedral separately, and indeed several videos on both Worcester and Malvern. Sorry ! But this is a very general one, and I still think you could have included a little more of the Cathedral. You have done so many ! I have done 18 now, it grows on you. BUT THEY ARE NOT ALL SOMERSET AS SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO ASSUME !!! In fact, only one has pictures of Somerset at all (the Exmoor one, which is a peculiarity thanks to my brother-in-law). The others are mostly "Somerset music" but with a totally unconnected "region" to guess, some in Britain but mostly abroad. Some are very easy , but some are a real challenge. I throw down my glove.

    I studied there when it was the humble "Collge of Education", I don't think it was even "of Further Education", and its degrees etc had to be issued by Birmingham University. I wanted a Postgraduate Certificate of Education. They are very good at that, partly because of the excellent schools available locally (including in Malvern) for teaching practice.
