HISTORICAL NOTE: 'By the sixteenth century, Broad Street was second only to High Street in commercial importance. On the direct route through the city from the (Worcester) Bridge (qv), it contained the business premises of a number of important traders and at least two inns'. Several houses on Broad Street are known to have C17 and earlier origins (Nos 32, 40, 41 and 57 (qqv)).

All the listed buildings in Broad Street form a significant group: Nos 10, 10A, 11 with the Crown Inn, 12, 18, 19, 29, 32-36 (consecutive), 40, 41, 43-49 (consecutive), 51 to 63 (consecutive), 69, 70 and Church of All Saints, Broad Street (qqv). Nos 43 and 44 shared the same former PRN with No.45 but were listed at different dates. (Hughes P: No.57 Broad Street, Worcester: Report for Worcester City Council: 1991-).
