HISTORICAL NOTE: Thomas Brock was one of the leading sculptors
of public statues of the period and as responsible for the
Victoria Memorial, The Mall, London (1901-24). During the C18
Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester
Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street itself, by being
well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a full circulation
of air seems to be generally resorted to as a fashionable
promenade.'

Library and Nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, Nos 33-46
(consecutive) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a
