The Old Advertisements which appear on some
of the Stratford pages are taken from "E Fox's
Penny Guide to Stratford-on-Avon". The copy
we have is very flimsy and we can't date it
accurately. However, it refers to the
headmaster of KES as being the Rev EJW
Houghton, who we have found was head from
1895 to 1902, so obviously the guide appeared
somewhere between those dates.

Do you shop at Morrison’s Supermarket by
Stratford station? Some of our postcards have
been reproduced on the walls of the recently
refurbished building and also used to make
"picture" windows in the restaurant.
We were delighted to have been able to
assist the English National Opera by
providing an image of one of our postcards
for inclusion in the programme for their
Spring 2006 production of Vaughan Williams'
comic opera "Sir John in Love". The
composer spent several weeks around the
Old Theatre in the autumn of 1912 and the
spring of 1913, working as musical director
of “The Merry Wives of Windsor”under Frank
Benson's direction, and fell in love with the
play. He wrote the opera in 1920.
The ENO has an excellent website - like
Stratford, it's well worth a visit.
