This is outside the front of Shrub Hill Station. The 'trellis' along the porch canopy, the brickwork and the stonework match. The notice boards (newer ones) are in the same position in 2025.
Google Maps Street View is very useful.

This is Quay Street - the children are standing on the corner of Hood Street. Opposite is Court no. 6. The photo is one of the collection by A D McGuirk, Chief Public Health Inspector in the 1920s/30s.

These routes look like those as finished as in the 1903-04 (to 1928) Electric Tramway.
I have checked as far as possible in "The History of Worcester's Tramways" by David Voice, 2015. The proposed routes, especially for the original Horse-Drawn Trams of 1884, were much more extensive.
The map seems to be a street map from the late 1960s or early 1970s:
Blackfriars (as in the 1960s concrete shopping centre) is mentioned, and the Lychgate traffic roundabout is there.
The person who added the red lines appears to have used one of those new-fangled felt-tip pens (probably a Paper Mate !) In fact, it's running out of ink and going very orangey down London Road...

Berrow's Worcester Journal book (published 2000): 'A Century of Memories' by Michael Grundy has this photo on page 20. The caption reads: "Men of the 11th Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment in the practice trenches at Norton Barracks in May 1915".

Information for this photo from another collection of local newspaper articles: 'Berrow's Worcester Journal Tercentenary 1690 - 1990'. Page 29 has this photo. It is 29th October 1932 and shows the Prince of Wales (I think, later, to become Edward VIII, 1936 - 1936) officially opening the newly widened Worcester Bridge. The article says that the Prince of Wales was offered, by Alderman Maund, an historic sword with which to cut the red and black ribbon. On the same occasion, The Infirmary had the word 'Royal' added to its name.
