37-38 Foregate Street, Worcester
Early C18th, no. 37 with pedimental pretensions. It does, however, look as if it were stuck on later as an afterthought. It has an oculus, which is always nice. Grade II listed.
Both were offices of recruitment agencies, Hewett and Response Recruitment.

Royal coat of arms on the Museum and Art Gallery
This is one of the most elaborate pieces of terracotta work I have come across. Even the visor of the helmet is hollow, and it is remarkable that it has survived without breakage.

34-36 Foregate Street, Worcester
No. 36 keeps the scale but is a rare non-Georgian intruder on the street, built in 1935 by Briggs & Thornely for the Royal Insurance Company. Then two mid-late C18th buildings. Grade II listed.
The latter two were restaurants/bars - Monsoon and Bolero.

40 Foregate Street, Worcester
A sizable contribution to the street's good sequence of Georgian brick. This five-bay house is late C18th and has a very grand doorcase (

Home to an English language school, the Kingsway English Centre.

Victory on top
This terracotta statue of Victory stands on top of the main gable of the façade of the former Victoria Institute, now the City's Museum and Art Gallery http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4305131. She is doubtless meant to refer to Queen Victoria.
