Severn Street is a very long street, which as its name suggests eventually leads down to the River Severn. Originally it was known as Frog Lane. This end of the street is near the cathedral and Edgar Street. Until about 80 years ago, many houses in and around this street were occupied by families involved in the Worcester salmon fishing industry. This came to an end in 1929, when the netting of salmon was prohibited.
