Stratford is a beautiful market town, steeped in industrial and cultural history. There's nowhere quite like it in the UK. As the birthplace and resting place of William Shakesepeare it's the focal point of global interest in the English language and literacy. For a small English town this would be recognition enough but how many people realise that this is also a major hub in the development of the Industrial Revolution with over 200,000 tonnes of coal passing through the river lock on to the extensive British canal network.
