"Welford is a pretty little village situated on the banks of the Avon in the centre of that beautiful district of England endeared to the heart of the tourist as "Shakespeare's Country". Its cottages are very quaint and picturesque with the inevitable thatched roof, red-tiled chimney and casemented windows, and have probably stood in their present state since the days of Shakespeare". |
| This postcard from 1909 is entitled "The Tumble Down Stile, near Stratford-on-Avon" The description from the reverse is "This quaint and deceptive gateway is situated in a field at Charlecote, close to Stratford-upon-Avon. To all appearances of firm construction, it is so built that the unwary pedestrian who attempts to cross it without knowing its peculiarities, is precipitated headlong to the ground." |
