Made in Worcester - how well do you know Worcester's historic industries?
This week's quiz has a little bit of a twist! We've teamed up with Museums Worcestershire to take a look at a few of the many industries that have thrived in Worcester over the years. Many of the questions include a behind the scenes glimpse at some of the objects preserved in the Worcester City Museum collection, but how many do you recognise? Match day at St George's Lane here in 1976. In the background loom the buildings of Redman Heenan, an engineering company. But what kind of industry formerly occupied the site?
