Character-filled! by Jenniflower
There is character and charm seeping out from every angle in Stratford-upon-Avon.I have included some photos of some of the charm and will describe them here:
(1) A penny farthing sits atop an old sign on the High Street. Delightful :)
(2) A low relief image of William Shakespeare sits above the door frame of the entrance into 'the local back', HSBC. It's lovely when companies keep the antiquity of the building they move into!
(3) A sign 'please park prettily'... how polite can you get?
(4) An old wall is seemingly caving in, yet standing firm... many of the house walls do this too... look like they are about to collapse but have been standing for centuries!
(5) Quotes and anecdotes from Shakepeare's plays are scattered here and there on buildings. This one is above WHSmith, and reads 'Come and take choice of all my library and so beguile thy sorrow' Titus Androncus, Act IV, Scene 4
Just lovely ~
