People with connections to Worcester are being invited to share their memories of the city.

Crave Arts is hosting two free events where people can recount their experiences of life in the city when the Hylton Road power station was operational.

The 'Share Your Memories' events are slated for between 1.30 and 2pm on Saturday, November 16, at The Hive, and from 10am to 12pm Tuesday, November 19, at the Sons of Rest Building in Cripplegate Park.

Those unable to attend in person can share memories online.

The events mark the beginning of 'The Power of Worcester', a project funded by National Lottery players and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The initiative aims to compile the history and memories of power production in the city over the next year.

Debbie Birch from Crave Arts said: "For 'The Power of Worcester' project, we’ll be exploring Worcester’s important role in power generation.

"From the world’s first municipal hydro-electric plant to the future of green energy, we’ll unearth hidden tales, memories and bring together archives, records and photos about the people and places that matter in Worcester’s history of electricity."

Steve Wilson added: "Whatever your memories are, whether they’re your own, or passed along from family and friends, we’d love to hear from you.

"Come along to our free event, and feel free to bring along any photos or documents you might have that relate to when the power station was in Worcester, which was until the mid 1970s.

"We’ll be there with local history experts to share information and photographs with you too."
