SIR - Heading towards Worcester city centre on my old push bike, I suddenly became aware of a breathtaking view of the cathedral seen from the top of Wheatsheaf Hill looking across Fort Royal Park. This is something I seem to have missed when travelling by other means, but I do recommend it.
I recollect that years ago there were high advertisement hoardings on London Road at this spot, which would have obscured such a view.
Over the years, I have lamented many of the changes to dear old Worcester. I am mindful of the modernised High Street and College Street, the prizewinning technical college - which any time now, planners assured us, might mellow to match the stonework of the cathedral - the high rise flats in Tybridge Street, Blackfriars Market and other monstrosities.
Yet here, on a road I have driven along hundreds of times, was a vista of Worcester as it might have been, presenting a truly impressive prospect to visitor and local alike.
John Hinton, Worcester.
