Droitwich Memorial Eulogy

Once upon a tyme we had an open air Lido; once upon a tyme we had a Winter Gardens; once upon a tyme we had a High Street with shoppers; once upon a tyme we had a Hotel and Brine Baths.

Once upon a tyme we had shops all along Ombersley Street; once upon a tyme we had a thriving Market; once upon a tyme we had happy chatty shoppers -- enter Wychavon, and then once upon a tyme went.

Bank Holidays are great in Droitwich, parking space galore.

The Christmas dcor is a treat for anyone to see, but who?

The High Street is full with take away shops, a council shop, a dentist, hair salons, double glazing and conservatories. What a treasure trove.

We should have just 15 minutes free parking to save tourists from being bored.

It is daylight robbery to charge.

people to come for Wilkinsons, and maybe a new Argos, but what will they do next?

I know, play games. You can catch a bird if you pour salt on its tail.

That should do it, the ultimate fantasy, or spot a councillor not out for a photoshoot.

The new housing developments have brought in voters who do not know that Droitwich was a jewel in Worcestershire's crown. How sad. Farewell Salt White, the Prince has gone.

Droitwich RIP is now buried with new houses, most shopping is done elsewhere. The flowers are a fitting tribute to a once treasured and loved town.

Will John Corbett the original benefactor turn in his grave?
