Coleshill Road, ATHERSTONE, CV9 1BW

Grade II listed. Listing number 1365147.

This has been a pub certainly since around 1817, possibly earlier. They are fond of lions in this area. Atherstone has this White Lion, plus the Red Lion Hotel and nearby at Witherley is the Blue Lion Inn. Next door to The White Lion, on the left, is Atherstone House, a Chinese Take Away. On the other side is Winnie's Cafe.

Opened on 27 March 1856.

The postal address is Long Street, but the office actually fronts onto Coleshill Street.

Judging by the outside appearance, this has probably been a public house for a very long time. Today it is called The Lounge and on the outside it says it is a "bar venue". Previously it was The Blue Dog, and prior to that it was Branagans Bar. Possibly it has had other names, or maybe The Blue Dog was its original name. There is a local group of keen young drinkers called the Atherstone Binge Drinking Society, which probably tells you all you need to know. The Lounge was one of the pubs they selected for a Boxing Day pub crawl. It must have felt quite honoured, as they have an awful lot of pubs in Atherstone to chose from!

Atherstone bus station is the rather grand title given to this large turning circle with a very long bus shelter, located on the north side of Station Street in the town centre. The bus is an Alexander Dennis Enviro 200, operated by Stagecoach in Warwickshire on route 48 to Coventry via Nuneaton.

A Stagecoach bus awaits departure from the row of shelters that constitute Atherstone's bus station on the 41 route to Nuneaton via Ansley Common.

This factory is no longer in use, and externally appears to be in a fairly poor condition. This view is of the side of the factory facing a service road by the Station Street public car park.

Grade II listed. Listing number 1299864. The house was constructed sometime between 1771 and 1790, as the house and offices for the wharfinger at adjacent Atherstone Wharf, a coal wharf at what was then the termination of the Coventry Canal. The wharf was constructed in 1771, and the house appears to date from this period or shortly afterwards; it appears on the earliest map of the canal, circa 1790, as Queen Anne House, and was named as the house of Richard Pipes. The earliest phase, which was T-shaped on plan, was extended by the addition of a single-storey, one-bay extension to the front of the building in the mid-C19, and a single-storey extension to the south was added at roughly the same period. The rear was extended by the addition of a relatively narrow outshut in the later C19, and a further addition was made to the rear in the early C20. The building continued in use as a wharfinger's house throughout the C19
