The City walls: section extending 85ft (30m) along W side of Talbot Street is a surviving portion of Worcester's medieval defensive fortifications. This section of masonry, stretching approximately 30 metres along the western side of Talbot Street, represents part of the town's circuit of walls that were constructed and maintained during the medieval period to protect the important ecclesiastical and commercial centre. The walls are constructed in the local building tradition and preserve evidence of the city's urban development and defensive priorities during the medieval centuries. The survival of this particular stretch makes it a valuable archaeological and architectural record of Worcester's historical topography and the physical extent of the medieval city.
