Shewringe’s Hospital Worcester
Shewringe’s Hospital
The Six Houses on the East side of the Tything, nearly opposite the “George and Dragon” Inn, were erected and endowed in 1702 by Thomas Shewringe, Mayor of Worcester in 1682, for six poor widows or poor ancient maidens, one from each of the parishes of St. Helen, St. Andrew, St. Clement, All Saints, St. Swithin, and The Tything. The names of these parishes are carved on the window sills.
The income set aside for this Charity suffered similarly to that belonging to St. Oswald’s, but restitution was made by the aid of the Court of Exchequer in 1812.

Castle Street Worcester
Castle Street
A few yards nearer “The Cross” is the street now called “Castle Street,” but for long years known as “Salt Lane.” The conveyance of salt from Droitwich to Worcester had been carried on over a period dating back to pre-Christian days. The merchants, to avoid the toll payable if salt entered the City, made a road across the fields leading to the Severn, where salt was loaded on to the barges for exportation, hence the name – “Salt Lane.”
In this street are two notable buildings, The Infirmary and The Prison.

Worcester County Prison
The County Prison
This prison was erected in 1809 for the incarceration of all prisoners from the County of Worcestershire, and completed in 1813 at a cost of £18,000.
Prior to that date all prisoners were lodged in what remained of the old castle in the grounds near the Cathedral.
To accommodate the City prisoners a Gaol was erected in Friar Street in 1824, on part of the site of the ancient Grey Friary. This prison was closed about 50 years since, and the present handsome Almshouses built by the Trustees of Laslett’s Charity.
From this time the City prisoners were accommodated at the County prison, until it was recently closed.
