📍Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire CV37 6QW, United Kingdom
1564 – 1585“The house on Henley Street was my father's glove-making workshop as much as our home — the smell of leather and the sound of commerce were the backdrop to my childhood. My father was an alderman with twelve properties; I grew up understanding that money and reputation were inseparable. I left for London at twenty-one and never quite came back — though I bought the grandest house in Stratford when I had the means. The river and meadows I never forgot.”
👍 LovedThe River Avon and the meadows beyond — those landscapes never left me, whatever city I lived in
👎 DislikedThe provincial smallness of Stratford, which London cured and which Stratford later celebrated in my name
