OVER the years there have been several events that have vied for the title “Battle of Worcester”. Prime among them being the ultimate set-to between Cavaliers and Roundheads in 1651, which sent Charles II fleeing to France and was probably Oliver Cromwell’s finest hour. Then there was the city centre mass mayhem of 1969, when a 20-strong gang from Birmingham way descended on The Swan dive bar, which was beneath but not connected with Russell and Dorrell department store in High Street, seeking vengeance for one of their number being stabbed at a disco at the Bank House, Bransford, a few nights before.
