Diglis is a suburb of Worcester, England. It is located around half a mile south of the city centre on the banks of the River Severn. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal starts in Diglis where it is connected to the Severn. Diglis Lock is a wide-beam lock allowing river craft access to Diglis Basin[1]. Diglis House Hotel sits on the banks of the River Severn to the south of Worcester Cathedral.[2] The area immediately next to the river is often affected by flooding such as in November 2000 and July 2007. New apartments have been built in Diglis and there has been some investment in the waterfront areas which are popular with tourists.[3]
