Worcester has undergone several transformations through time, from a small Roman town in first century AD, which traded mostly in salt from the river, to the large and busy modern town it is today.

The photographs in this book form a fascinating collection of what has been, but is no more; what is recognisable, but is unfamiliar. Among the distinctive views seen in this history of Worcester's streets, are the eleventh-century cathedral, Lich Street and The Foregate, home to Worcester's Hop Market.
