His plays continue to be the muse of literati and theater lovers. Wonder if anyone can ever compete with the re-interpretations of his works. I am not someone who has read Shakespeare beyond what the school textbooks required. I do keep meeting his works off and on in theaters, in cinema halls and sometimes even in some form in written words. A few years back, when I lived in the <a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/bath-city-of-roman-baths-jane-austen\/\">UK<\/a> for a while, every weekend I would explore one city. So, one of the weekends I landed in Stratford upon Avon and walked around the town.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Shakespeares_Birthplace_at_Hanley_Street\" title=\"Shakespeare\u2019s Birthplace at Hanley Street\">Shakespeare\u2019s Birthplace at Hanley Street<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Other_Houses_of_Shakespeares_family\" title=\"Other Houses of Shakespeare\u2019s family\">Other Houses of Shakespeare\u2019s family<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Holy_Trinity_Church\" title=\"Holy Trinity Church\">Holy Trinity Church<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Royal_Shakespeare_Company\" title=\"Royal Shakespeare Company\">Royal Shakespeare Company<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#River_Avon\" title=\"River Avon\">River Avon<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Stratford_upon_Avon_beyond_Shakespeare\" title=\"Stratford upon Avon beyond Shakespeare\">Stratford upon Avon beyond Shakespeare<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Stratford_upon_Avon_%E2%80%93_a_tourist_destination\" title=\"Stratford upon Avon \u2013 a tourist destination\">Stratford upon Avon \u2013 a tourist destination<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Souvenirs_from_Stratford_upon_Avon\" title=\"Souvenirs from Stratford upon Avon\">Souvenirs from Stratford upon Avon<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/stratford-upon-avon-shakespeares-town\/#Travel_Tips_for_Stratford_upon_Avon\" title=\"Travel Tips for Stratford upon Avon\">Travel Tips for Stratford upon Avon<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was also one of the first times I took a walking tour of the town.

She walked us through the historic spine of Stratford upon Avon that takes you through the various houses associated with Shakespeare and his family. Shakespeare was not only born in Stratford upon Avon but he was spent his last years in his hometown.

His parents lived here and later some of the descendants of his sister lived here for a while. This 15th CE half-timber house passed many hands including some belonging to butchers. In 18th CE some leading figures like Charles Dickens started visiting this house that it started getting noticed. It was when an American showman wanted to buy the house and move it to America that the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust was formed to maintain it. The actual restoration took place in mid 19th CE. It\u2019s interesting all the changes made since the inception of the building were reverted back to bring back its original state in which it was built. What a great project it must have been for the architects involved.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15304\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15304 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shakespeare-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Imagined portrait of William Shakespeare\" width=\"500\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shakespeare-portrait.jpg 500w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shakespeare-portrait-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shakespeare-portrait-397x420.jpg 397w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An imagined portrait of William Shakespeare, Image Credits &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/gallery-885118p1.html?pl=edit-00&amp;cr=00\">Nicku<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/?pl=edit-00&amp;cr=00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you stand there, you visualize a young Shakespeare observing people around who would become a part of his stories.

I remember our guide mentioned that none of the descendants from the direct line of Shakespeare survives. She added, however, we never know there may be some from his London days. It seems there is a lot of ambiguity about the days he spent in London.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from the famous Henley Street, you can also explore Sheep Street to see some 15-16th CE houses where potentially sheep were traded for the wool industry.

It allowed travelers to come into the city with ease. Before this bridge came up, there was an unreliable wooden bridge that could not keep up with the changing water levels of the Avon River. I wonder if this bridge allowed the stories to come to Stratford that the Shakespeare would pick up few decades down the line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stratford upon Avon is one of the very few towns that have the name of the river embedded in their names.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A boat trip up and down the river is a must-do activity in Stratford upon Avon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A stroll along the river is also rejuvenating.
