More Worcester

The Bridge over the Severn at Worcester is nice but not particularly striking.

This piqued my interest. It’s a gate across an alley hard by the Railway Station. It may lead to a car park there or something. Very childrens’ story like.

Just opposite Worcester Cathedral at the edge of the town centre is this statue of the composer Edward Elgar (who wrote, among many other pieces, Pomp and Circumstance March No 1; sometimes known as Land of Hope and Glory, though the words were a later addition.)

Two Worcester War Memorials

There are memorials to three wars just by Worcester Cathedral, on the town side.

The first I came to was the one for the South African War (the Second Boer War.)

Just a bit further on there is a memorial to both World Wars. This has no names on it. I assumed there is another memorial elsewhere in Worcester that does that. (A quick internet search suggests not, however, but there are numerous memorials in various churches etc.)
