Looking northwards towards Link top and Malvern Link. The milestone on the left ("To Worcester Cross 8 Miles") has a wall built around and over it. Large, late 18th/early 19th century houses line the eastern side of the road. A recent dropped kerb crossing point has been added on the side of the pavement allowing wheelchair users easier access to the opposite side of the road. The bobbled surface of the light yellow surface is to assist visually impaired pedestrians to locate the crossing point. Image
