Aerial view of Central Worcester, 1999 (north at top of picture)

The outline of the old medieval city wall can clearly be seen in the eastern part of the central area, while the extensive medieval suburb along the Forgeate has clearly influenced the shape of development along the main road coming into the city from the north (comprising, from N-S, Barbourne Road, The Tything, Upper Tything, Foregate and the High Street).

This image was made from a montage of 8 rectified aerial photographs from the Milennium Mapping project (MAPS™ 1999).
