Thank you.

A great story. Thank you for sharing. We will have to do a video on the Prisoners.

Thank you. Glad you liked it. We have a local history playlist on here. Lots of topics.

Thank you. Same here.

A large number of Scots were taken to the fens of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk to dig drainage ditches. A great many was also transported to the American Tabacco plantations. We will have to do a future video on the Prisoners taken at Worcester, so please keep a look out.

Richard Leader "purchased" them and later purchased the sawmill in NH where my ancestors went. He got caught doing some shady deals and went to Barbados and all the POWs received their land grants early and were released

@@fishinwidow35 apologies in the delay. An interesting story.

@@discoverhistory7818 I am a direct descendant of several of them! David Hamilton for one. Love the history of all they did here in colonial days

@@fishinwidow35 thats brilliant. We love history and especially history that links countries and cultures.

Thank you Rita. You too. We have just spent the day filming the Battle of Powick Bridge for the 23rd September. Malcolm Atkin was my big influence for the Civil Wars.

@@discoverhistory7818 Good luck with the rest of your project Paul. I just about remember Malcolm joining Worc Archaeology before I left.

Thank you. We do have a video on the Battle of Powick too.

Thank you. Paul has studied the Battle for many years. He gets immersed in the Battle all the time!

Thank you

Thank you.

It's a fantastic place.

Thats right. We have some burials around the 4th September recorded in Parish churchyards (usually recorded as 'Unknown person' or words to that effect). A Mass Burial pit or more than one is likely but we have no knowledge where this is located. Possibly on the River Meadow to the West and another outside of the City Walls to the East. They would have received a Christian burial of some description so there is no need to specifically go out and find them.

Thank you for sharing. We have a number of Battle of Worcester videos in our playlist.

The land has several owners and you will need to check with the Battlefields Trust also. The location is Archaeologicaly very sensitive.

@@discoverhistory7818 thank you. I was being a bit deceptive, I am friends with the land owner of Powick site. There have been several people metal detecting without authority and have said that people have told them on here they can go as it is public land. Even if it was you can’t do it without permission from relative authorities. I know that the land owner originally didn’t mind however due to the land being left in a mess they are not so willing to give permission. Thank you for your response.

@@Duke-Slinger we have reported about 5 people metal detecting on the Battlefield over the years. There's been a big increase over the lockdown period. We and a few friends watch the Battlefield site closely. This includes Perry Wood and Cherry Orchard.

@@Duke-Slinger did you say they were told they could metal detect from 'Discover History' or on here...... meaning KZfaq in general?

Well I have been told that people have been on channels about Worcester in general and the battle, they have then been told they are more than welcome to go and detect when ever they want. I am doing a bit of fishing at the moment through the comments etc to try and put people right. I think it’s most likely people in the comments making out they are more important than they are. We caught one man and all he said was “Mike on KZfaq said I can come” I only know the land owner of Powick and up to the seven bridge. Thanks for getting back to me I shall continue my hunt.

That's right. Sadly, the King's School fete is no more. I think it ended a few years ago now. We work at the King's School from time to time and I think the last fete was almost 10 years ago I think.

@@discoverhistory7818 That’s a shame. I bought some lovely things in the past from there. Thanks for the reply

@@PaulRoneClarke it may be resurrected one day.

The thunder storm had ended and Cromwell ordered the advance. It may have coincided with a flood tide. The Severn was tidal and Cromwell had brought two boat bridges up river. A flood tide would held push them against the current.

@@discoverhistory7818 that makes sense now thank you and I really enjoyed the history walk Worcester is so rich in history a beautiful place just wouldn't of like to of been there during that battle lol 😀
