Readers on Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley in the 1990s

From the pick 'n' mix at Woolworths and the A&E department at Kidderminster Hospital to fond memories of nights out and the indoor market, the towns have changed significantly over the past 30 years. 

Readers have now shared several things they miss most about Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley from the era.

This includes the Glades leisure centre, which was officially opened by The Princess of Wales in 1986. 

The popular leisure centre closed for the final time in July 2016 after 30 years with Wyre Forest Leisure Centre opening that same year to replace it. 

Readers said it was shame it closed with Adam Jay Matthews adding "I would have loved to be able to take my daughter there."

Woolworths was also another popular choice among readers along with the indoor market, cafés and shops, including Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, Littlewoods café, Tammy Girl and more. 

Dean Stobbart said: "Going to Grinnall's greengrocers with my nan and grandad and getting a pick and mix from Woolworths."

Nightlife and pubs were also high on the list with several readers reminiscing about former Kidderminster nightclub Mirage as well as nights out in Bewdley and Stourport. 

A few places which got a mention include The Bell and The Steps Inn in Stourport, the Farmer's Boy and the Half Moon in Kidderminster. 

People also reflected on the downgrading of Kidderminster Hospital as well as the atmosphere on a weekend. 

Siân Thomas said: "The busyness of the town during the day when there were shops worth visiting and the same at night when the pubs and bars were packed."

Kylie Louise Matthews said: "The smell of the sugar beet." 

Eamonn Vessey added: "Littlewoods café. You could get a six-item breakfast for £1.25."
