History of Worcestershire. Worcestershire was the site of the Battle of
Evesham in which Simon de Montfort was killed (4th August, 1265), and
later, in the English Civil War, the Battle of Worcester (1651). In the nineteenth century, Worcester was a centre
for the manufacture of gloves; the town of Kidderminster was a centre
for carpet manufacture, and Redditch specialised in the manufacture of
needles and hooks. Droitwich Spa, being situated on large deposits of
salt, was a centre of salt production from Roman times, one of the
principal roman roads running through the town. These old industries
have since declined, to be replaced by other, more varied light
industry. The county is also home to the world's oldest continually
published newspaper, the Berrow's Journal (established 1690).It is also
home to the Worcestershire County Cricket Club, traditionally first
stop on for the touring national side's schedule in England. The Club's
players have included Tom Graveney, Ian Botham, Glenn McGrath, Graeme
Hick, Kapil Dev, Vikram Solanki, Don Kenyon and Basil D'Oliveira.
Worcester Rugby Football Club, the Worcester Warriors, whose ground is
at Sixways, Worcester, were promoted to the Guinness Premiership in
2004. From 1974 to 1998, it was combined with
Herefordshire to form a single administrative county of Hereford and
Worcester; some areas now part of West Midlands metropolitan county
used to be part of northern Worcestershire, such as Dudley, Halesowen,
Stourbridge. Even before then, some areas, such as Yardley had been
made part of Birmingham itself (and hence Warwickshire). The post-1998
county therefore does not correspond exactly to the pre-1974 boundaries.
