English Cities






Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the centre of England. There are no mountains or deep valleys near Stratford, but there are a beautiful wood, green fields, a quiet river – the Avon, and lovely houses.

Stratford is a busy city, especially on market days. The first place we go to is Shakespeare’s birthplace, a small house with small rooms in the centre of Stratford.

Then we go to the church where Shakespeare is buried. There is a bust of Shakespeare here. We also visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, about a mile out of Stratford. Anne was Shakespeare’s wife, and the cottage is just as it was in their time.

We have a look at the Shakespeare’s Memorial Theatre. How nice it is to see a play here! They are doing “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” this evening, but we have no tickets.

The city of Bristol, the capital of West Country, is a living text-book of England’s history. It was already important as early as the reign of Ethelred (978–1013). It had its own mint. Today it is one of the most prosperous centres of commerce and industry in modern England.

Here the river Avon flows into the mouth of the river Severn, and the city looks westward, the Atlantic Ocean.

City Docks, a very old part of the dock system, lie in the heart of the city itself. The port plays a very important role in the prosperity of Bristol.

Besides Bristol’s diverse industries, shipbuilding and repairing, the city is famous for aircraft and aero-engines industry. Another large industrial group includes production of fertilizers, chemicals, and paints.

Bristol is a city of wide cultural interests, and drama, ballet and music are very important here. Education is a strong feature, and in addition to the University there are numerous schools of high standing.

The city is rich in lovely parks and open spaces.
