Cold Period
During the last glaciation, Worcester lay just beyond the limit of huge ice sheets in a bleak tundra landscape. As the ice melted, the Severn turned into a swollen torrent carrying great loads of rock debris and chunks of melting ice. Chilling winds blew down the bare valley where herds of woolly mammoths, woolly rhinocerous, reindeer, wolf packs and bison roamed the river's edge, feeding on rushes, sedges and the few stunted willow and birch.
