SATIRICAL magazine Private Eye has weighed into the current rumpus over plans to redevelop Worcester’s historic Lowesmoor Wharf. And its intervention has echoes from the 1960s, when a national newspaper article forever blighted the city’s massive Lychgate scheme at the southern end of High Street. Back then a feature in The Guardian by Geoffrey Moorhouse described the wholescale clearance of slum/period (depending on your point of view) properties in streets only yards from the cathedral as “The Sack of Worcester”. And the phrase has stuck. Now the Nooks and Corners column in the Eye brands the plans for Lowesmoor Wharf “a huge, overbearing regeneration scheme”.
