The New Swan, Church Street
Tucked away in Church Street, the New Swan was photographed on a misty December day. It also has a frontage to Derby Lane. The New Swan was open by 1801 and probably has "New" in its name to distinguish it from the nearby Swan Inn, which was at what is now known as Swan House, 23/25 Market Street. That inn closed some years after the New Swan opened. There was also an Old Swan in Long Street, which is still in business today. Further evidence of the fondness for swans in this area, is that there is also a Black Swan pub at nearby Grendon.

Market Street
One of the town's oldest streets, with many fascinating buildings. The Parish Church can be seen in the distance, but rather obscured by the mist that was hanging around for much of the day.

The Angel Inn, 24 Church Street
A very old inn, which originally was joined to the buildings in Church Street on its left. A very long time ago there was also a building on its right, but that was demolished in the late 18th century for a road to be constructed. Today the inn's main claim to fame, is that it is the host of the Ball Game celebrations, on Shrove Tuesday. The game being a very long tradition in Atherstone, and one of the few such that survives.
