EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph from March 1921, the Diglis area of Worcester, England, comes alive with an intricate tapestry of industry and urban development. The image, taken by Aerofilms, offers a bird's-eye view of the bustling scene adjacent to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The heart of this industrial landscape is centered around Portland Street and Mill Street, where factories and kilns of the Worcester porcelain works dominate the scene. The porcelain industry had long been a significant part of Worcester's economic and cultural heritage, with the city renowned for its fine bone china production since the 18th century. The photograph reveals a mosaic of rectangular buildings, some with distinctive chimneys, arranged in a grid-like pattern. The porcelain works, with their large, red-brick structures, stand out against the backdrop of the River Severn and the verdant greenery along the canal. The intricate network of roads and paths crisscrossing the area hint at the bustling activity that once took place here. The image also showcases the harmonious coexistence of industry and nature in this urban setting. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal, meandering through the scene, adds a serene contrast to the industrial landscape, reflecting the city's rich history and its commitment to both progress and preservation. This aerial photograph is a testament to the industrial prowess and urban development of Worcester during the early 20th century. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the city's past and the transformative power of industry.
