Queen Elizabeth School & Sports College Coat of Arms
The school was founded as a grammar school by the first Queen Elizabeth in 1573, or so it was believed. But there is some suggestion that the correct date should be 1572. This artefact probably doesn't date from then. It is above the School's Long Street entrance door. The school relocated here from its original premises. Image

Albert Hall, Atherstone
I believe this used to be a Music Hall and possibly a Cinema, before becoming a Curry House.

Long Street and the Queen Elizabeth School & Sports College
The side of the school dominates this final section of Long Street. It was quite a misty December day when this photograph was taken. Image

Queen Elizabeth School & Sports College
Queen Elizabeth School & Sports College was founded in Atherstone in 1573, but not on this site. It became a comprehensive school in 1976 and subsequently was given the status of a sports college. The road on the left is Long Street, and the one going off to the right is North Street.
Atherstone was experiencing a slight mist when this and other photographs here were taken on a dull December day, so this has affected the clarity and contrast to some degree.

The Old Swan, 175 Long Street
Atherstone is recorded as having 32 alehouses in 1720. Almost 290 years later it still has at least half that number, and The Old Swan is amongst the oldest. It dates from the early to the mid-16th century, and is generally regarded as being the best example of a timber framed building in Atherstone. It is on the corner of Long Street, Atherstone's main road, and Welcome Street. Image;Image

The Old Swan, 75 Long Street
Another view of The Old Swan, one of Atherstone's oldest pubs. The timber framed building dates from the early to mid-16th century. My Goodall ancestors of the 16th century lived in Atherstone & Mancetter, so I would like to think that perhaps some of them once used this pub. There is not much of present day Atherstone they would recognise, and certainly not the ugly looking modern block, with the barber shop, just down the road! Image;Image

The Old Swan pub sign, 175 Long Street
This is the sign of The Old Swan, one of Atherstone's oldest pubs. Atherstone is quite keen on pubs named Swan. There is still a pub called, logically, The New Swan, and long ago there was a Swan Inn too. Image;Image
