Wondering where Worth & Holmes Kidderminster might be, please?

I was checking the Black Sheet Index that was just mentioned on another post, and found a possible ancestor. Under address it shows: "Butcher Worth & Holmes Kidderminster". His occupation is listed as Carpet Wkr. Any guidance appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Angie and David. I will check it out a little further. However, it doesn't look like it is my ancestor, as Kidderminster would be too far away from his birthplace. I was interested in this record, because it mentioned butcher. That was his profession later in life. Thank you both for your help.
