Worcester Street

[Vivienne14]

This street deserves a thread of its own. All now swept away by redevelopment and the effects of WW2 bombing. Some contributions are included by members from other threads.


The Board Vaults c1929 corner of Worcester Street (#56) and Bell Street, originally posted by Oldun.

Looking towards New Street. I'd guess a late 1950s view. The BigTop development seems to have been well underway.

Here is a photo of the entrance in Worcester Street to Great Queen Street . The building on the right was occupied by Frederick William Walcott, luncheon stores, which was no 18 up to 1884, and 59 from 1888. Walcott occupied it from around 1870 till around 1890, though it was run after that for a few years by (his wife ?) Mrs Elizabeth Walcott.
