HISTORICAL NOTE: during the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a fashionable promenade.'
Nos 1-6 (consecutive), No.57 and Nos 59-66 (consecutive) Foregate Street together with Berkely's Hospital and Nos 11-15 (consecutive) The Foregate (qqv) form a group.
