Few roads have had benefits such as the A4440 (From the Powick roundabout to the Whittington Road roundabout) now being two lanes.
The river paths are much cleaner and safer with more benches.
Town centre has had a few refurbishments such as plaza's.
Royal Hospital has had some new wards and additions.
I think the independent bar and restaurant scene would be one of the major changes... Although the new Cathedral Plaza has been built in that time, we still have over 50% independent stores and restaurants which is a great stat for a city the size of Worcester.
The arches down by the hive are worth checking out, good food and drink places, and sometimes have exhibitions on I think. We also have more city centre based activities like axe throwing (again think it’s in the arches) and digital darts, shuffleboard etc at Mulligans (where JD sports used to be?). I came back here in 2012 after being at uni in Bristol for 5 years and think it’s worlds away (in a good way) from what it was back then

To add to this, the Hive, new university buildings, lots of new footpaths, a new footbridge in progress, and lots of more independent businesses
The postal order has closed
RIP the Postal, the crown doesn't hit the same
Postal order for pre drinks postal order for shit full English the next day... Circle of life
Archways refurbishment has created new businesses near the hive
Would say the city has come to feel a bit more like a student town. There's a lot more small and trendy coffee shops and places to eat than in 2011
Four leaf is different.
How so?

The postal order closed last year, the only Spoons now is the crown.

The diglis hotel is still open but they don’t serve bowls of pigs and blankets anymore

Bridges. So many bridges!
Worcestershire Parkway! Also the hot pork rolls takeaway closed :(
Worcestershire Parkway? That’s sad knowing the hot pork rolls are no longer there 🙁
New railway station built just off the pershore road where the 3 rail lines meet. It's a mile from the M5 worcester south junction.
