Excerpt from A Day at Evesham: The Visitors' Guide to Its Antiquities and Other Objects of Interest From whichever side the railway traveller arrives at Evesham, he will have seen or crossed the river Avon within a quarter of a mile of the Stations. Evesham, is in fact, situated on the Avon (originally made navigable under a royal grant of Charles and at the southern extremity Of a loop Of the river, in the shape of a horse-shoe, Of nearly three miles extent, running from Ofienham southwards through Evesham, and round to the north towards Fladbury. Within this Ioop is the rising ground or hill called Green Hill, which is the northern part of the Borough. It has a few villa and cottage residences on the road leading out northwards to Alcester and Birmingham; but its sides are covered with garden ground and orchards. The Great Western and Midland Railways cut straight from east to west across this loop, and divide Eves ham from Green Hill. Proceeding from the Railway Stations, the visitor enters Evesham from the north, and goes down the broad High Street, with its variety of Old and modern houses, its avenue Of plantain trees, and the wide spaces between the carriage road and the pavements, which are used on fair-days for pens and standing for cattle.
