This Centre is entirely staffed and run by volunteers whose aim is to preserve that which is worth preserving without impeding progress, and to promote and exhibit items of local public interest.

 

This is to celebrate the history of PERSHORE in Worcestershire, England.

Pershore is an old market town in the Vale of Evesham and is linked to a large

number of villages, which surround it. Its Abbey, Bridge and Bredon Hill are its most significant features, but many aspects of Pershore’s past is on record.
