Worcestershire Past is my oldest web site. It started as a lottery project by Worcester Writers' Circle as Worcestershire History Encyclopaedia. I kept most of the articles for which I still had publishing rights in this successor site. I add a little more occasionally, so if you have an article illustrated with a digital picture, I will consider it for the site. Any shorter pieces, or just pictures you think others would like to see, can be published here on Vigornia.
