Beschreibung
From its early origins, Worcester developed into a medieval cathedral city, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries into an industrial centre with a reputation for gloves, porcelain and engineering. This extraordinary history has given Worcester a proud and distinctive history, which is embodied in the many fine buildings that have shaped the city.Worcester in 50 Buildings explores the history of this rich and vibrant community through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the imposing cathedral and the Queen Anne-style Guildhall to more recent additions such as the award-winning Hive, which houses libraries, archives, archaeology and other services, this book celebrates the city’s architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Local archaeologist James Dinn guides the reader on a tour of the city’s historic buildings and modern architectural marvels.
