===Manufacturing=== <!--Please place industrial history information about CLOSED industries into the History section above to ensure there is not duplication --> [[File:leaperrins.png|thumb|150px|[[Lea & Perrins]] advertisement (1900)]] One of Worcester's famous products, [[Lea & Perrins]] [[Worcestershire sauce]], is made and bottled at a Midland Road factory, its home since 16 October 1897. Messrs Lea and Perrins originally partnered a chemist's shop on the site of the Debenhams's store in Crowngate Shopping Centre. Worcester has what is claimed to be the [[List of the oldest newspapers|oldest newspaper in the world]] still in publication: ''[[Berrow's Worcester Journal]]''. It traces its descent from a news-sheet started in 1690. The foundry heritage of the city is represented by Morganite Crucible at Norton which produces graphitic shaped products and cements for use in the modern industry.<ref name="Morganite"/> The city is home to the European manufacturing plant of [[Yamazaki Mazak Corporation]], a global [[Japan]]ese [[machine tool builder]] established here in 1980.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mazak History |url=https://www.mazak.com/mazak-history/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402092910/https://www.mazak.com/mazak-history/ |archive-date=2 April 2015 |access-date=29 March 2015 |publisher=Yamazaki Mazak Corporation}}</ref> Worcester Heating Systems was started in the city in 1962 by [[Cecil Duckworth]].
