About

Battenhall sits to the south‑east of Worcester city centre and is primarily a residential area with a mix of terraces, semis and post‑war housing. The road network here gives direct routes out of the city for commuting and local shops and community halls serve day‑to‑day needs. Pockets of green space break up the streets and small playing fields provide outdoor space for family use. The neighbourhood has a steady local rhythm rather than a defined high street, and many streets open onto quieter lanes and short walks toward the river corridor.

Diglis occupies the riverbank where the River Severn widens and is defined by its working waterways. The lock and the island at Diglis form part of the navigation and are visible from riverside paths that run along moorings and towpaths. The area mixes a compact cluster of waterside housing and boat facilities with public access along the bank, and the lock keepers’ structures and boating activity mark it out as a riverside place focused on navigation and river use.
