WR magazine Worcestershire - Winter 2018

In dieser Angelegenheit

Our cover features three-time prime minister Stanley Baldwin, whose statue was, at long last, unveiled in his home town of Bewdley. To commemorate such a great man of the county, we set down some details of Baldwin’s life and times as well as the text of historian Alistair Lexden’s speech at the reception that followed the unveiling.

We also profile three of the county’s most notable businessmen: Cecil Duckworth of Worcester Bosch (and Worcester Warriors), estate agent Andrew Grant and Ed Webb of Webbs garden centres, each of whom spoke to us in depth about his life and achievements and shared a few of the secrets of his success.

In addition, cyber security expert Dr Emma Philpott explains how the talents of the neuro-diverse are being harnessed to help prevent cyber crime, and award-winning garden designer Martyn Wilson offers advice on walls, hedges and fences. On the heritage front, military researcher Mick Wilks tells the story of the Worcestershire Home Guard, while Nooks and Crannies admires the murals at the Regal cinema in Tenbury Wells.

Not only that, but there are, of course, oodles of words and pictures on the best festive food, fashion and drink, with sequins and champers to the fore.
