The rear of The Shakespeare public house, complete with a beacon in the car park. Shakespeare Park is situated immediately behind the photographer. These premises were part of a farm (Ashleigh Farm) until 1938, worked by a tenant but owned - until the early 1950's - by a Mr Shakespeare, the senior partner of Shakespeare, McTurk & Graham, Leicester auctioneers. The premises opened as The Shakespeare Inn in 1954 having been duly converted. The farm buildings and ponds that previously occupied the site were levelled to create the car park.
