Hi Phil,  HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Thanks very much for the info, much appreciated.

Hope you're enjoying your visit to your old home town.

I like to visit mine now & again but I always come back with mixed feelings - some happy, some sad but that's how it is.

All the best to you Phil and enjoy your birthday.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi Barbara

Im glad I could send you a bit of info & since sending it found another old  map (as part of a display) at the HIVE & it clearly shows Angel Row in the place I thought it should be which contradicts Google maps & Worcester City council who even gave what Google maps show as Angel Row a post code so its getting a bit of a problem for you knowing who to believe

All the very best

Phil

Hi Barbara

While waiting for the bus at Worcester on Tuesday after Id left the HIVe I spent some time looking at what I regard as Angel Row & there are a lot of old buildings at the bottom of it(the Angel Place end)that I think must have been for some sort of manufacturing a long time ago as one of them has a very tall square chimney (the sort Fred Dibner use to rave about I hope you know who Im talking about but if not google his name & that will find him), Those buildings are now a nightclub but Im a bit past using them at my age  .

All the very best

Phil

Hi
I have found this site which gives an even better method of comparing old maps to the modern layout an this particular map actually shows Angel Row, off the W end of Angel St.

Look for the Blue Dot slider in the LH menu for transferring to the modern Gmaps picture.

Thanks are due to Yegvard on the Warndon thread for telling us about this resource.

Hi There

Out of curiosity I tried to access your map but the library computer I was using wont let me access the site as its security certificate is not recognised by Somerset libraries mores the pity

All the very best

This gives a better map of Angel Row on the old map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/384809/255054/13/100390
Although this gives a side to side with the modern view. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=19&lat=52.1936&lon=-2.2237&layers=168&right=BingHyb

Hi Stan

The Old Maps is perfect & gives Angel Row exactly where it should be & also proves that my postings saying Google maps & even Worcester Council are wrong as google maps give a street that was made & runs parallel with Angel Row & the council in their wisdom even gave it a postcode & call it Angel row but Ive never seen a name plate on the new street.

All the very best

Hi,

This is a good site for old photos of Worcester. I think this is one of Angel Row?

And this is a redevelopment many years later.

Hi There

Can I point out as someone born in Worcester the Angel Street Angel Place & Angel Row are 3 different places & that I have answered this query several times with research backed up by the archive dept of the HIVE where most historic documents about Worcester are held.

All the best

Phil
