Library

Town library, Smalley Place.

Abbey Hotel

View from beside the Abbey Fields car park, looking up Bridge Street toward the former Abbey Hotel.

High Street

The Old Kenilworth. High Street was the Medieval centre of the town. It was in the public square at the cross roads pictured, that protestant reformer Hugh Latimer gave his last sermon before being executed.

Further up High Street.

The old Parochial Hall. Used during the war to house wounded soldiers.

The Stone House, High Street. Apparently named after Admiral Stone who had the house built in the same proportions as his ship. The roof is supposedto be like an upturned keel.

 

Clock

The clock tower is situated at the 'top' of town, an area known as The Square (it was square before a landmine devastated the area in November 1940).

Mr Turner of Abbey Hill erected the tower in 1906 in memory of his wife who died in 1891.

Talisman Square

Unflattering view of Talisman Square shopping precinct. 1999 finds it in much need of a facelift or complete overhaul of the 1960s facade.

Warwick Road

Main street through Kenilworth. Location of most the best eating places.

The Square
