Judy, Worcester is located south of Birmingham in the Midlands region of England. The pronunciation is:- "woo" (as in wood) and the center of the word is silent and the only the end is said as "ster", which I know is contrary to the pronunciation of wor-ces-ter for Worcester, MA. It's a lovely place, I should know, I used to live there. Phone listings you wanted - supplied "off list". Barry
