The Lounge, 53 Station 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!

The White Lion, Station Street
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.

Atherstone bus station
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.

Disused factory, Station Street
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.

Long Street, Atherstone
Long Street is Atherstone's main shopping street and seems to be thriving in a way that many similarly sized town centres no longer are. In this view a branch of Superdrug and Atherstone Gallery (which offers a picture framing service as well as selling a range of prints and some original paintings) are closest to the camera.
