OverviewHere in the pages of this compact little book are thousands of years history about a county which has many stories to tell, all laid out in an informative but easy to read way. From Roman times when three roads traversed its landscape, to its involvement in the Civil War, Worcestershire has seen it all. Its people, who were employed in the coal mines and iron foundries of the north, in the salt works of Droitwich, and who made nails in Bromsgrove and needles in Redditch, all have stories to tell. Some played a part in historic events: two brothers travelled to a new life on the Mayflower and three brothers were involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Worcestershire is also home to well-known politicians, musicians and poets. They all contributed to the story of Worcestershire and can be found in the pages of this 'little history'.
