We thought we'd share some photo's of Stratford with you all.
Stratford is full of 16th century buildings plus every other century up to date.
It's also FULL of tourists at this time and most times of year, so very hard to get photo's without visitors taking their own photo's!
There are also a few statues about this up on the side of a building.
from another angle.
some lovely buildings.

A rare clear pavement!
I loved what they ha done to the hoarding to make it more interesting.
You could see the topiary on the back garden wall
Some of the house looking over the side of the hoarding.
Down this street you can just make out some painted screens hiding a building that is having work done. I first saw this in Venice and Rome fifteen years ago and think it's a brilliant idea to hide work on a building in this way.
Another street of architectural interest .
The inside of a beautiful Church that stand near to Nash house.
A closer look.
more buildings
it's all in the detail...

Then we came to hall House which belonged to Mary, William Shakespeare's daughter and her husband who was a doctor.
Beautiful floral detail carved on this chair back.
From the back of the house.
The back garden was a beautiful big size.
It contained this wonderful bronze of Bottom, from a Midsummer nights dream.
More detail on building in the high street.

another statue
Shakespeare's birthplace.
Where some actors , acted out some scene's from Shakespeare in the garden, fabulous performances by this young woman and another older man.
Last but not least a view of the river and lock showing you just how busy a day it was! .
A wonderful place steeped in History and well worth a few days of anyone's time.
