History made in Worcester with banner art project

19/09/2025

HISTORY was made twice over with a public art project in Worcester.

This summer, the city became the first in the country to transform one of its streets with authentic 17th century English Civil War banners.

Some 15 vibrant banners, based on regimental colours, were displayed along Copenhagen Street.
