A dome made of willow in the middle of a grassy area at a school with a fence behind it and some trees planted next to it

Two volunteers constructing a willow dome in a grassy area in front of a fence. One of them is holding a piece of willow into the ground and the other is hammering something in to the ground.

Last week volunteers created a living willow dome at Unity Academy in #Kidderminster as part of the #SavingWorcestershiresHeathlands and #WilderSchools projects 🌿

Thank you to players of the National Lottery for helping to make these inspiring projects possible 💚

Monochrome photograph of the two storey Victorian Turkish baths in Mill Street which, apart from the single storey wings at each side, looks very little different from the neighbouring houses. Clearly divided into men's and women's areas, there were separate entrances, each one up a few steps. Behind the building can just be seen the top of an apex roof, probably over the swimming pool.

#onthisday, 14 February 1871, 16 years after their swimming pool opened, #Kidderminster Borough Council added #TurkishBaths. Costing £300, they initially paid their way, taking an average of £1 per week. They closed on 1 December 1932, though the swimming pool remained open till Oct. 1935. 🗃️ #C19th

A canal boat moored by the towpath, smoke drifting out of the cabin at breakfast time. trees can be seen on either side of the canal and a church is visible in the distance between them where the canal disappears under the road into the centre of the town

Had to take some people to hospital in Kidderminster earlier this week. With an hour to spend I thought I'd have a drive around. From the traffic lights I spied this canal boat moored up alongside Sainsbury's. So I had to take a look.
