Malvern Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Worcestershire, and around 30 miles southwest of Birmingham, is the town of Malvern.

The town is comprised of several local communities, with the largest being Great Malvern - the subject of this walk. It is situated on the slopes of the Worcestershire Beacon, a hill whose summit is the highest of the Malvern Hills range.

Malvern formed in the 11th century around Great Malvern Priory. This was originally a Benedictine monastery, but repurposed after the Dissolution of the Monasteries of the 16th century into an Anglican parish church, which it remains to this day.

Malvern is home to a number of natural mineral water springs. It is alleged that the medicinal properties of these waters were known since the Middle Ages, although it wasn't until 1756 that they garnered significant attention thanks to a treatise published by Dr John Wall extolling their curative properties. Bottling and shipping Malvern water soon became big business. In 1842 Dr James Manby Gully and Dr James Wilson set up water-cure clinics in the town, with some notable Victorian celebrity customers, including Charles Dickens, Charles Darwen, Florence Nightingale and Lord Tennyson.

In 1859 the railway arrived in Great Malvern. With it came an influx of tourists, including day trippers from as far out as Manchester. Hydrotherapy declined in popularity towards the end of the 19th century. As a result many Victorian hotels were converted into private boarding schools and rest homes.

The first motor car in Britain, allegedly, was built in Malvern between 1887 and 1889 by T. C. Santler. The Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 in Malvern, where it has produced motor cars right up until the present day. Hundreds of cars are built each year, all assembled by hand, with a waiting list for a car ranging anywhere from six months to ten years!

Due to its quiet location, Malvern was chosen to be the wartime refuge of several government departments. Secret research was carried out here, including the development of radar for aircraft detection, which was to prove decisive in the Battle of Britain, and ultimately, the Allied victory. The scientific establishment stayed on after the war, with further innovations to follow including flight simulators, cathode ray tubes, LCDs and touchscreens.

Places to see in ( Droitwich - UK )

Places to see in ( Droitwich - UK )

Droitwich Spa is a town in northern Worcestershire, England, on the River Salwarpe. The town was called Salinae in Roman times, then later called Wyche, derived from the Anglo Saxon Hwicce kingdom, The Spa was added in the 19th century when John Corbett developed the town's spa facilities. The River Salwarpe running through Droitwich is likely derived from Sal meaning salt and weorp which means to throw up i.e. the river which throws up salt which overflows from the salt brines.

Droitwich is within the Wychavon area – the only Midlands area to be in the Halifax 'Quality of Life Survey' of 2011. It was 6th overall. On 4 November 2013 Droitwich Spa Town Council made Max Sinclair an honorary Freeman of the town in recognition of the major role he played in the restoration of Droitwich Canals.

Droitwich Lunatic Asylum was established in 1791. Records at the Worcestershire County Record Office show its presence in 1837 to 1838. An advert in the Transactions of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association (the forerunner of the British Medical Association) in 1844, records that Martin Ricketts, of Droitwich, was the Surgeon and Sir Charles Hastings from the Worcester Infirmary was the Physician.

In 1714 the first Turnpike in Worcestershire was opened to Worcester. A commemorative plaque was unveiled by Lt. Col. Patrick Holcroft the Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire in Victoria Square on 1st June 2014.

Collectively known as the Droitwich Canal, two canals met in the town centre. These are the Droitwich Barge Canal built by James Brindley in 1771 and the Droitwich Junction Canal built in 1854. The Junction canal linked Droitwich to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The canals were abandoned in 1939 but a restoration program saw them re-opened in 2011. The railway station, formerly on the Great Western Railway, is just outside the town centre with trains to Birmingham, Worcester, Kidderminster and Stourbridge.

Until the late 1990s Droitwich Spa Lido was open as a public open-air salt-water swimming pool. Following its closure various schemes were proposed, with significant legal and commercial arguments as to the viability of re-building and reopening this facility. Droitwich Spa is rich in artistic talent, with a lively theatre, many skills active including musicians, singers, artists, sculptors, authors and poets plus numerous crafts people. The Droitwich Arts Network exists to advocate and champion the arts and crafts in Droitwich Spa and to act as a collective voice for the arts.

Droitwich Spa: Town, Lido Park & Canal Walk

In this video the travel turtles visit Droitwich Spa for a day trip. This historic spa town in Northern Worcestershire was originally named 'Salinae' in Roman times and then later called Wyche (Saltwich) due to the fact that the town sits on a massive deposit of salt.

Brine (salt water) rose naturally to the surface in this area and was a big industry, especially during the Roman times. You can still see some of the brine pumps in the video. Later the town was called 'Droitwich Spa' due to the fact that people would swim in the salt water to relieve muscular pain in the mid-19th century onwards.

Droitwich Spa Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Worcestershire, and around 20 miles southwest of Birmingham, is the town of Droitwich Spa, or commonly referred to as simply, Droitwich.

The history of Droitwich spans around 2000 years. The Romans recognised the value of the salt in the area, building a number of ancient roads known as Saltways, as well as a fort and villa. They named the settlement 'Salinae', Latin for 'salt works'.

Droitwich was the country's leading salt producing centre for centuries. In the Domesday Book of 1086 Droitwich is mentioned 11 times - more than any other town. By this time eight lords held property in the town itself.

The salt trade led to the building of two canals. The Droitwich Barge Canal, built by James Brindley in 1771, linked the town to the nearby River Severn, and the Droitwich Junction Canal, built in 1854 was constructed to link the town to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The salt trade would decline in the early 1920s, leading to the abandonment of the canals. In 1939 they became redundant.

In the late 1950s a campaign to reopen the canals was undertaken by Max Sinclair, founder of the Droitwich Canals Trust. In 2011 the canals were restored to their former glory, and now run through the region, starting in Vines Park where the waterways connect with the River Salwarpe, as seen in the video.

In the 19th century Droitwich became a spa town. Unlike other places, the medicinal benefits of Droitwich's spa water did not derive from drinking it as its salt content is allegedly ten times stronger than seawater. Instead, the water was used for bathing, with Droitwich Spa's first brine bath opening in the 1830s. These were credited with healing multiple ailments including rheumatism, arthritis and even cholera. The baths have long since shut, although at the time of writing there is a campaign running for a new brine bath to open in the town.

Places to see in ( March - UK )

Places to see in ( March - UK )

March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. It was the county town of the Isle of Ely which was a separate administrative county from 1889 to 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. The town grew by becoming an important railway centre.

Like many Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest island in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre. March is situated on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today mainly used by pleasure boats.

Modern March lies on the course of the Fen Causeway, a Roman road, and there is evidence of Roman settlements in the area. Before the draining of the fens, March was effectively an island in the marshy fens. It was formed from two settlements, Merche and Mercheford, separated by a canal. At one time shipping on the River Nene provided the basis of the town's trade, but this declined with the coming of the railways in the 19th century.

A single arch bridge was built over the River Nene towards the north end of the town in 1850. High Street, which is the chief thoroughfare, is continued over the bridge to Broad Street on the north side of the Nene, and The Causeway is lined with a fine avenue of elm and other trees.

With a long history of trading, in the reign of Elizabeth I, March was a minor port. In 1566 eight boats, capable of carrying one, one and a half, or two cartloads, were used in the coal and grain trades. A certain amount of traffic in coal and other commodities, carried in barges, was observed by Dugdale in 1657. Local tradesmen's tokens of 1669, and a silver shilling token of 1811, have been noted.

Originally a market appears to have been held near the original town (then village) centre, on land beside The Causeway. A Market Cross (now called The Stone Cross) points towards the existence of an early market and this cross was erected in the early 16th century. This site was very near St Wendreda's Church.

In 1669 the town successfully petitioned King Charles II and in 1670 he granted the Lord of the Manor of Doddington a Royal Charter with the right to hold a market with two annual fairs, in spite of the opposition of Wisbech Corporation. This market was held on Fridays. The Lord of the Manor of Doddington, who owned a large part of March, gave special permission to the townspeople to sell their goods on some of his land in the town centre. This site, now called the Market Place, was then known as Bridge Green Common and later named Market Hill.

March has its own museum, located down the High Street. It is in the building that was originally the South District Girls school, constructed in the 1850s, it went from school to school, until 1976 when the building was purchased by the Town Council. The Museum was opened in 1977. The town was an important railway centre, with a major junction between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March railway station. The station is 88 mi (142 km) from London by rail, 29 mi (47 km) north of Cambridge, 14 mi (23 km) north west of Ely and 9 mi (14 km) south of Wisbech.

Whitemoor marshalling yards, built in the 1920s and 30s, were once the second largest in Europe, and the largest in Britain. They were gradually phased out during the 1960s and shut down in 1990. Whitemoor prison was built on part of the site. The natural regeneration of the remaining 44 hectares resulted in its classification as a potential country park. In addition, a new housing development was constructed adjacent to the site. However, in 2002, Network Rail identified a need for a supply depot and redeveloped part of the site.

The March March march is a 30-mile walk from March to Cambridge, which has been walked in the month of March by students and academics from the University of Cambridge since 1979. The marchers sing the March March March March.
