THEN: The High Street below looking towards Worcester Cathedral from beside Copenhagen Street in 1973 when traffic squeezed down what was then the city centre’s main route.
Russell and Dorrell’s department store could be found further down on the left.
NOW: The same High Street area pictured below in 2024.
The traffic is gone, apart from deliveries, with the road pedestrianised in the 1980s.
On the far left, Russell and Dorrell’s, which moved out in 2003, and the nearby Lychgate Shopping Centre are now split into different shops and the Cathedral Square respectively.
