Paul will be talking to Malcolm Boyden, on BBC Hereford and Worcester Radio tomorrow morning. Worcester is often called the 'Faithful' city, but historically, it could be seen as one full of 'Traitors'.
As we approach Halloween, im sure many of you may be carving a vegetable as a decoration. Which decoration do you like the best? Is it the more traditional, but hard to carve Turnip? or the easier, American Pumpkin? Remember, Halloween has much earlier origins in British history
This week, our #WorcesterWednesday post takes a look at the sinister fire surround in the King Charles pub. As we approach #Halloween do have a closer look at the Devil disrupting people's lives!

How well do you know Worcester? We see the city all year round and notice details. We also report damage and problems in the streets we pass down on our guided walks. Where will you find this stone lovely carving?
Heres a bit of fun for a Sunday morning. What event is linked by these three pictures? The clue is today's date, in the year 1794.
If 'The Worcester Story' walk is fully booked, remember you can purchase 'The Worcester Walkabout.' This can be purchased from the Tourist Information Centre at the Guildhall, or direct from our online shop. This allows you to discover our city, in your own time.
The Battle of Agincourt was fought today in 1415. Paul thinks Kenneth Branagh portrays King Henry V the best. Do you have a favourite actor for this part?
The Royal British Legion, Poppy Appeal for Worcestershire was launched today. If you can support this years appeal please do. Remembrance Sunday takes place on the 8th November 2026.
Wednesday was #NationalHoneyDay. Last week we also saw the death of the last Saxon King. Our #FoodieFriday is therefore a recipe for Anglo Saxon Honey Cakes. Give them a try and share your photos with us.
