| Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire |
| Shipston-on-Stour is a small Warwickshire market town about 8 miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon. The name "Shipston" was originally "Sheep-wash-town" and as is implied by the name, the town was an important sheep-market town for many years. In 1836 a branch line from the horse-powered tramway, built a few years before to link Stratford with Moreton-in-Marsh, was opened and enabled the town to continue to flourish as the demand for wool waned. Shipston was also an important coaching town. |
| This card of Sheep Street was mailed in 1941. |
| Almost the same view of Church Street - from the car, about 1950. |
| A view of Shipston which is dated 1965. |
| The Bridge, probably about 1950. |
| An undated postcard of the Red Lion and the Stour Garage. Note the "Flowers Ale" sign on the "Red Lion" - Flowers Ale was brewed at the brewery on the Birmingham Road in Stratford-upon-Avon until the early 1960s. |
| This postcard was mailed in 1954, but the photograph from which it was taken appears to be earlier, possibly pre-war. |
| Two postcards of the Old Mill Hotel - both undated. |
