NEVER mind the elephant in the room, this is the story of the elephant in the tannery. Or to be more precise, the elephant under the tannery. Before moving offices to Redhill at the top of London Road, Worcester, last year, this newspaper had its HQ in Hylton Road on the other side of the city for more than 50 years. The building was newly constructed overlooking the Severn and opened in 1965. Adjacent to it stood an old tannery known as Severn Bank Tannery, which had been there since at least the turn of the century. However the tannery closed in 1966 and this substantial building was eventually acquired by the newspaper’s owners Reed Newspapers and converted into our training centre.
