and a very warm welcome to the WIAS web site

Atherstone

A recent tour of the North Warwickshire town of Atherstone revealed some interesting finds, some of which are shown below. Although the hat industry has now vanished there are still plenty of interesting buildings and of course the Trent Valley Railway and the canal pass virtually through the town centre. If you have any interesting shots email them to the web site.
