I HARDLY thought of it as a tourist attraction until I recently received a fleeting visit from an American friend.

Naturally, I took my visitor to see Worcester Cathedral. That was the main purpose of the visit and together we attended Evensong.

My visitor, a fine musician, was highly impressed with the architecture and overwhelmed by the music.

Returning home along Midland Road, I was able to point out the factory where Worcestershire Sauce is manufactured.

The main doors were closed but my guest insisted on us stopping to be photographed at the portal under the prominent sign "Lea and Perrins".
