Plotting the Past, Planning the Future Exhibition

Plotting the Past, Planning the Future - Worcester 2000

The Great Hall, The Commandery
May 6th 2000 - March 31st 2001


This was a collaborative exhibition by archaeologists, historians, geographers and town planners exploring the structure, form and fabric of the city of Worcester - Past, Present and Future ......essentially a Y2000 celebration!

As "The Past" and "The Future" are pretty big places - even for a small city like Worcester - it will take us a while to fully publish the material here. So for the moment we hope you will be content with "The Past" (all of it!), and look forward to bringing you "The Future" soon.

Rather than being a one-off, the Worcester 1250 model and elements of "The Future" will be developed and incorporated into new displays...including more exciting, interactive and informative areas on our web site.....so watch out for updates.
