Worcester Pear

Popped into Worcester on Thursday for a couple of things and remembered to find this piece of sculpture and take a photograph.  You can just see the twinkling stars underneath. There were also some rather splendid larger than life in-flight robins hung from the roof amongst the not so nice large heart shaped decorations.  Tried to avoid getting those in my picture.

The pears were not actually black, it is the colour they are depicted on the Arms of the City.  The emblem dates back to 1575 when Elizabeth I is reputed to have visited Worcester.
