The former United Footwear store, 51a The Tything, Worcester
This branch of United Footwear closed down just over a year ago in late February 2015. It was closed because of "economic decline" according to a report in the local paper. The only externally attractive feature of this rather ugly building is the mural on the front. See:- Image

Mural on front wall of 51a The Tything, Worcester
This is only part of the mural on the front wall of the former United Footwear store. Unfortunately the top is obscured by the closing down sale banner still remaining a year after the store closed. Worcester is known as the Faithful City because of its supposed loyalty to King Charles II in the Civil War. The story is too complicated to go into here. The full mural is difficult to photograph because of street furniture, but most of it can be seen in this February 2012 view by Peter Barr:- Image
