Malvern between
the Wars
Examines a period in its history when Malvern
became the cultural centre of the world, hosting the first British Film
Festivals, concerts of Elgar, the first plays by George Bernard Shaw, and the
first appearances of actors like Errol Flynn and Stewart Grainger. A time when
going to the theatre or the cinema meant dressing up, as much to be seen as to
see. Recalled history by those who were there.

The Arboretum
Story
A social history of a small, well defined area of
Worcester that was, in its earlier days, a well stocked arboretum, a pleasure
gardens and place for the citizens to promenade, and an area in which the more
disreputable could ply their trade. Now a tightly knit community well prepared
to defend itself against bureaucracy and the modern scourge of planning
blight.
