Anyone here live in Worcester?
Discussion
As the title said really, PH'ers seem to come from all over the place, and the one make car forum I am a member of doesn't seem to have anyone in the area sadly.
Am looking for general advice, which areas are good, which are bad. You know, stuff like that. I actually know Worcester town centre fairly well, when I was younger and lived in Shropshire my parents and I would often go shopping there, but its changed a fair bit of late (I visited briefly at Christmas) and I don't know the residential areas and suburbs at all.
And help would be, helpful, any thoughts really. Looking to move back to the UK in a year or so and weighing up some possible spots.

I went to Worcester College before it became University College Worcester (from 94 - 98)! Lived in St. Johns for 4 years, has its nice parts, but obviously studenty as it's so close to the uni.
I moved back there in 2003, and lived in St. Peters (South Worcester) in a gorgeous house - nice area near to the M5 so getting to work was easy. I have friends who live in Lyppard Habbington and where they live is really lovely too. (The Lyppards, The Berkeleys etc are all reasonably quite newly developed areas). Great city, loved living there, but had to move because of work & vodkakid!

Thanks for the replies.
St Johns is about the only residential area I know, I had a friend who lived there. Some nice parts, and from my property search, pretty cheap. I think though, I prefer the other side of the city, from what I've seen of it.
Kidderminster I know well, it used to be our nearest large town when I lived in Cleobury Mortimer. Yes, there are indeed some nice little rural spots around Worcester, but I think for the moment we'd be quite happy within the town itself, and I'm presuming that to be cheaper.
Malverns nice, haven't been there for years! Went hiking that way in '98 I seem to remember.
