Worcestershire industrial heritage visiting guides

The story of Worcestershire’s industrial heritage is one of innovation and craftsmanship that shaped it’s development. While the county is now known for picturesque landscapes, historic towns, and thriving agricultural traditions, its industrial past played a crucial role in its prosperity, leaving behind a legacy that you can explore today.

Worcestershire was home to a diverse range of industries such as glove-making and porcelain in Worcester, carpet weaving in Kidderminster, and salt production in Droitwich Spa. Historic riverside towns and villages such as Bewdley and Upton-on-Severn are great places to discover charming architecture and pubs on the water.

The county’s canals were vital during the Industrial Revolution especially for supplying and transporting products from the Black Country and Birmingham to the inland ports at Worcester and Stourport for onward shipment down the River Severn. The river is also crossed by many historic bridges, some were designed by renowned engineers such as Thomas Telford.
