IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Burton Street, BURTON-ON-TRENT, DE13 9DH

Typical 19th century town pub.

Cycles and petfoods seem an odd combination, but the variety of goods apparently on sale means that a whole number of other similarly unlikely combinations could have been chosen.

The rather plain frontage belies the fact that this is a 17th century timber-framed cottage, possibly with cruck frames. Listed Grade II.

This became a working men's club associated with the gypsum industry, then most recently an Indian restaurant. Vacant at the time the picture was taken. It appears on the 1923 OS 1:2500 map as a cinema, and as a club by the 1960s, but I have no other information about it at present.

On the corner of Ludgate street and Duke Street, it has an unusual curved frontage. Dating from the 18th century and hardly modernised. It has a very traditional double shop front. Listed Grade II.

On Ludgate Street.

A view looking south-east along Duke Street to the roundabout where it joins High Street to the left, Ludgate Street to the right and Burton Street leading off ahead. Tutbury, with its Castle ruins and ancient church stands immediately south of the River Dove, which here forms the boundary between South Derbyshire and East Staffordshire. The Castle reopens to visitors each Easter and was once the temporary home of Mary Queen of Scots. The church and priory were begun in about 1086 by Henry de Ferrers. The Norman west doorway, including an arch of alabaster, the first one ever allegedly, is said to be one of the finest examples in England. The apse at the east end was constructed in 1868 to a design by G E Street. Near here coins were discovered by workmen dredging the Dove on 1st June 1831 and more during succeeding days until on 8th June a huge hoard of many different coins were found. The authorities were slow to act and many of the coins were spirited away before action could be taken. In Tutbury church is preserved a notice forbidding any further searching for coins. One story is that Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, fleeing from Edward II after the battle of Burton Bridge in 1321, left the coins hidden in the Dove but never returned to collect them. Nearby is the village of Hanbury and to its east the Fauld crater, the site of the November 1944 bomb dump explosion. The sign reads 'Burton Uttoxeter (A50) Town Centre'.

A view south-south-west along the High Street to the roundabout at the junction of Burton Street, Ludgate Street and Duke Street. Tutbury is a town of ancient origins and has much of architectural and historical interest. Time taken 11.56 am GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
