Nostalgia: River Severn saw trade built on back of donkey army

WANDERING along the River Severn towpath on a warm summer’s evening, leave the city centre and head towards Hallow.
You will come to a spot opposite the north end of Pitchcroft which gives little indication of what it once was.
Only a very steep path might be a hint.
In days gone by, where the riverbank is now covered by manicured greenery and tree branches dip down towards the water, stood a substantial wharf.
At its heart was the Dog and Duck Inn, a popular haunt of watermen working on the river, and here was the landing stage for the most-used ferry in Worcester.
