Mary Arden and Stratford





 Off to Stratford now along the Stratford Canal. This is one of many 'split bridges ' found here where bridge railings and road are split to allow the horse's rope to pass through as it pulls the barge along in horse-drawn days.



Les ponts sur le Stratford Canal sont construire avec un trou au milieu.C'etait fait comme ca pendant l'epoch quand les peniches etaient tirer par un cheval attacher par une grande corde. Le trou permets la corde de passer facilement. 

The lock keepers cottages are also different on this canal.




Les maisons des eclusiers sont differents ici aussi.


Mary Arden's Farm, now run as a working Tudor Farm by the Shakespeare's Birthplace  Trust.

Mary Arden etait la mere de William Shakespeare. Elle a passe son enfance ici.
