| A few postcards which don't really fit under any other heading - yet !! |
| Above and below are three postcards which show the "William and Mary", a building which dates from 1690. |
| The Shrieve's House in Sheep Street. (035) |
| The Rosalind Tea Gardens on Church Street - can anyone help with an exact location ?? |
| Church Street - an early 20th Century view. |
| A very early postcard of the Bancroft and the river. |
| This postcard of the Avonside Hotel has a George VI 2d stamp. |
| An undated postcard of the Avonside Hotel. |
| This house is on Waterside - and was possibly called "Helensmaid". Thanks to Paul Tursner-Upcott for identifying the building which is now called "The Muses" |
| An engine and coaches at the old LMS Station - this is the spot where my great-grandfather William Jones dropped dead in 1901. |
| This postcard was produced by F D Spencer of Stratford - other than that I have no information, no date or location. So can you help ? Which school is it ? Are you on it ? Who is the dapper looking lad in the back row in cricket flannels and what looks like a KES blazer ? Click on the picture for a closer view. All relevant information will be added here. |
| Stratford-upon-Avon |
| A postcard of Old Town from 1904. The building at the end on the right used to be a pub called the "William and Mary". |
| Two fairly recent postcards, probably 1960s or 70s. |
| A super view of Ely Street from Rother Street. This postcard was posted from Malvern to St Louis, Missouri, in April 1905. The shop on the corner is a grocer's - under a magnifying glass the sign under the Ely Street sign appears to read "A Baker, Grocer", but it is difficult to make out properly. (036) |
| Ex GWR tank engine 6435 at Stratford Station in April 1965. I don't recall ever seeing this class of tanker in Stratford - certainly never at Wilmcote - although they may have come as far as Stratford from the south. |
| No date for this postcard of the Welcombe. |
| Postcards of the Past |
