HISTORICAL NOTE: during the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a fashionable promenade.'
Nos 1-6 (consecutive), Nos 57, 59-66 (consecutive) Foregate Street (qqv) form a significant group together with Berkeley's Hospital, Nos 11-15 (consecutive) and No.19 The Foregate (qqv).
