Click the link below to access a free copy of the old Stratford District Council Guide Book (1976). Its a large file so allow it time to load up. As always being over 48 years old all the old Advertisements, Hotels and Retailers can be the highlights when you read it.

The Stratford on Avon District Council was created in the 1974 by the reorganisation of local government. It has always surprised me how large an area it covers. Warwickshire was divided into five District Councils
1.
Stratford
on Avon District
2.
North
Warwickshire District
3.
Nuneaton
and Bedworth District
4.
Warwick
District
5.
Ruby
Borough
What
I particularly like about this old Guide Book is it covers all the villages and
towns within the Stratford on Avon District Council area but logically divides
them up into the following areas so you can read about all the surrounding
towns and villages centred on these key towns.
Stratford
on Avon Rural Area
Henley
in Arden Area
Alcester
Area
Shipston
on Stour Area
Southam
Area
The
guide covers many villages that receive no media attention these days and
therefore remain unknown to most people. This no doubt suites the locals living
there quietly beyond the normal hustle and bustle of modern life.
Although
many of these are referred to and would have been more popular in the time of
the Domesday Book (1086). If you want to learn how to lookup whether the
village is included or not my book below tells you how to do this where by
coincidence I cover doing a Local Research Project based upon Stratford upon
Avon.
