This is definitely Friar Street. You can see the northern end of Greyfriars (mainly the Thompson Trust part) plus what was the "Canadian Stores" - a green grocers in this picture but with the shop sign above dating back to the last years of the 19th century. The Hovis sign would have been on the bakery - for many years run by the Wall family.
You can just make out what appears to be Waldron above the shop adjacent.

Apollo Cinema, Park Street, 1918. In his book 'Old Worcester: People and Places', Bill Gwilliam says that this was previously The Zion Chapel (Methodist) built in 1838. It was rebuilt in 1845 and closed in about 1910. It then became The Apollo Cinema. The chapel was a small building and to get a reasonable 'throw' a projection box was built out through the window over the street.

Front door led to 2 x offices Left and Right. These were the Labour Party Consituency Offices. Access to the upstairs rooms were via the doorway on the right and a further doorway on the left. The actual Labour Club was similarly accessed further down the alley way in a separate building which contained a large downstairs bar area and a meeting room/ events room upstairs (accessible via an external staircase).
