Worcester is well known for its history in glove making. It was so common in 'the olden days' that now their saying has developed- when talking about a 'Tom, Dick or Harry', when we might say here in the West Mids a 'Joe Blogs', they would say 'Joe Glover'.

Worcester sauce was made here. They had problems with people calling their recipes by the same name- so anyone can call theirs Worcester Sauce, but only Lea and Perrins' can call theirs original.

Not too sure what this was for, but a lot of work definitely went into making it!
