EDITORS COMMENTS
This vertical aerial photograph, taken on August 24, 1948, by RAF 541 Squadron, offers a unique perspective of Worcester as it was over six decades ago. The River Severn, meandering from the north bottom to the south top, divides the city into two distinct areas. On the left bank, the iconic Worcester Cathedral, with its striking Gothic architecture, dominates the skyline, while Worcester Racecourse at Pitchcroft can also be seen. On the right bank, the County Cricket Ground at New Road is clearly visible, with its lush green expanse ready for the next match. The suburb of St Johns, with its terraced houses and neat gardens, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. However, this photograph is not just a nostalgic look at a bygone era, but also a reminder of the city's rich history and its transformation over time. The wartime buildings scattered throughout the image, including the site of what later became the University of Worcester, serve as a poignant reminder of the city's past. The photograph's vertical orientation provides a unique vantage point, allowing us to appreciate the layout of the city and the relationship between its various components. The aerial perspective also highlights the natural beauty of the River Severn and the surrounding landscape. This photograph is a precious piece of history, preserved by Historic England Archive, and offers a fascinating glimpse into Worcester's past. It invites us to reflect on the changes that have taken place over the years and to appreciate the enduring character of this historic city.
