WUUS-tÉ™r-shÉ™r, /-ʃɪər/ -â  sheer; written abbreviation: Worcs) is
a non-metropolitan administrative, ceremonial and historic county,
situated in the West Midlands region of England.The cathedral city of
Worcester is the largest settlement and county town, with a population
of +100,000. The major towns include Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Evesham,
Kidderminster, Malvern, Redditch, Stourport-on-Severn and Pershore.
The historic county also contained Dudley, Stourbridge, Halesowen,
Oldbury, Yardley, Kings Norton and Northfield, whilst the rest of
Worcestershire is largely rural. The current administrative county is
divided into six districts: Worcester, Redditch, Wychavon, Malvern
Hills, Wyre Forest, and Bromsgrove.The area that is now Worcestershire
was absorbed into the unified Kingdom of England in 927, at which time
it was constituted as a county (see History of Worcestershire). Over
the centuries the county borders have been modified, but it was not
until 1844 that substantial changes were made. This culminated with
the abolition of Worcestershire in 1974 with its northern area
becoming part of the West Midlands and the rest part of the county of
Hereford and Worcester. However, in 1998 the county of Hereford and
Worcester was abolished and Worcestershire was reconstituted without
the northern area ceded to the West Midlands. Worcestershire Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
