Evesham
Evesham is a market town and parish in the Wychavon area of Worcestershire. It consists of formerly individual villages Bengeworth, Greater Hampton and Little Hampton. The town can be found in the middle of Worcester, Cheltenham and Straftord-upon-Avon. Lying within the Vale of Evesham, the flood plain of the River Avon, the town is nearly entirely surrounded by water. Evesham has a long history of heavy flooding, which has actually been thoroughly documented from the 13th century. It was among the most seriously impacted town by the record flooding along the River Avon in 1998, when the river rose 5.8 metres in just a few hours. Added to recurring flooding was the Evesham's heaviest rainfall for 200 years in July 2007, which was 320 percent higher than the average rainfall in many regions in Britain. According to the 2001 census, Evesham's population was 22304, with the average household size being 2.3. Within this population, 20.1 percent were under the age of 16 and 7.7 per cent were aged 75 and over, making the mean age of the people 38.2. As a result of the town's notably fertile soil, market gardening is undertaken on a commercial scale, and it is known for its production of fruit and vegetables. A prominent feature of the town is its contribution to the United Kingdom's domestic computer system and digital tv market. Evesham Technology, a computer manufacturer, employed around 300 people with a chain of 19 stores in towns and cities across the UK before 2008. There are many retail and food outlets for residents, found in the high street, Riverside Shopping Centre, and 4 Pools Lane Retail Park.
