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.

The 62-year-old was left stunned when she discovered the box outside her Eaton Park home.
Nearly 4.5million leaseholders in England will be ‘tens of thousands of pounds’ better off as a result of laws to be unveiled today by the Housing Secretary.
Robert Jenrick said his attempt to make it cheaper and simpler for leaseholders to buy their properties is the biggest property law reform since Margaret Thatcher’s right-to-buy revolution in the 1980s.
Ground rents will be scrapped for millions with a new right to extend leases to 990 years. They will also be reduced to zero on all new retirement homes.
