A view of St Peter's Church from the 1890's
St Peter's Church during the 1890's. The church replaced its medieval predecessor in 1836-8; however it was proved to be structurally unsafe and consequently demolished in 1976. The surrounding buildings were demolished as part of a slum clearance in the 1930's. Today the same area is covered largely by the Worcester Porcelain car park.
