Having very much enjoyed “The Lair of the White Worm” by Dracula author Bram Stoker, I’m contemplating a Summer project by way of tribute. My story would transplant “the worm” – an ancient serpent inhabiting the clay beds of Staffordshire – to the salt spa of Droitwich. This creature of the brine lagoon, “the green worm”, might then assist those campaigning against inappropriate development in South Worcestershire.
In the meantime, I strongly recommend a visit to the Droitwich Lido (shown below), saved from re-development for housing several years ago. This is an absolutely fantastic facility, whose restoration was brought about through the excellent work of the SALT (Save A Lido Today) Action Group.
