When Worcester s own goddess Sabrina led wartime Victory celebrations

By Mike Pryce The judges eventually chose Mary Radford (centre) as Sabrina, Goddess of the Severn, with her attendants (from left) Barbara Pitt, Wendy Vernall, Ena Cooper, May Yeomans, Barbara North and Betty Perkins TO the immediate post-war generations of young men, the name Sabrina probably conjures up visions of a blonde, frontally endowed young lady who kept popping up on the black and white television screens of the day, never seeming to do much apart from stand there. Well, in Worcester in 1946 we had our own Sabrina who was a very important person indeed. Because she took the leading role in a celebration that promised to live long in the memory of everyone there.

A year ago in Worcester: city under water after Storm Dennis

IT S hard to believe that one year ago this week, Covid-19 hadn t registered on most people s radar (if it had, it was something that was happening on the other side of the world and probably wouldn t concern us.) Worcester and its surroundings had more pressing concerns, after Storm Dennis hit the UK, leaving a swathe of destruction and flooding in its wake. Bridge and road closures left St John’s and Powick almost completely isolated, while Hylton Road, New Road and the Powick roundabout were all closed. I WILL GET TO WORK: A pedestrian wades across New Road The only way to cross Worcester Bridge by vehicle was via a shuttle bus going both ways, which meant Holt Heath bridge was the remaining means of crossing the Severn in the city.
