Interior Shakespeare’s House, Stratford-upon-Avon

The rooms in the house are quite small, as was the case at the time.

As well as Shakespeare’s House:-

behind which (you have to pay to get in) were actors parading about and declaiming lines from his plays,:

I spotted this Art Decoish building. It’s the stepping on the roofline and I suppose the rule of three in the windows below the diamonds that gives a deco feel:-

Stratford-upon-Avon War Memorials

I seem not to have posted this before even though I took the photogaphs in April 2012.

Stratford-upon-Avon has two civic war memorials, one for the Great War, moved to near the river from its original location, and another for the Second World War on a wall nearby.

This web page shows the memorials’ relative dispositions.

On another nearby wall is King Edward’s School Boat Club War Memorial – for both wars:-

Between the Great War Memorial and the Second World War Memorial lies a memorial to an individual. I’m afraid I can no longer remember whom it commemorates and the writing is too indistinct to make out when magnified.
