White Stuff, 20 Bridge Street and Costa Coffee, 21 Bridge Street - Stratford upon Avon

a tudor style building at 21 Bridge Street currently Costa Coffee.

On the corner of Union Street and Bridge Street.

On the left is White Stuff. Got that roundabout when it was in bloom last spring. Perfect blue sky.

Costa Coffee is at 21 Bridge Street.

21 Bridge Street may look like it dates back to the 16th or 17th centuries but it doesn't. Only to 1924.

It is a Grade II listed building.

Office. 1924. Brick with timber-framed facades; double-gabled
tile roof with brick end stacks. Vernacular Revival style.
3 storeys; 2-window range; jettied upper floors and 2 gables.
Entrance has 4-centred head and moulded arch with carved
spandrels with initials: NP to shields, door with rich
linenfold panels. Ground floor has 6+3-light single
chamfered-mullioned windows with vine trail to transoms; 1st
floor has projecting 3-light transomed windows and 2nd floor
has similar inset windows; all windows have leaded glazing.
Close-studded framing, that to ground floor has brick-nogged
infill and corner post with twisted shaft; enriched brackets
with masks to 1st-floor jetty, which has frieze and cornice to
bressumer; crouching figures, including Shakespeare and
Hamlet, form brackets to 2nd floor, which has herringbone
framing; rich vine-trail narrowboat-boards. Narrow brick part to
left end has good enriched lead rainwater head with date, and
downspout; end stack.
Right return to Union Street has similar details: two 5-light
and one 3-light ground-floor windows; 3-light 1st-floor
windows flanking 2-light windows; 3-light windows and
single-light window, lacking transoms, to 2nd floor; brick
right end has dated rainwater head and downspout, end stack.
INTERIOR: adzed posts and beams; C17-style panelling. A good
example of those buildings in Stratford influenced by the
town's Elizabethan heritage, which was being restored at this
time, on an important corner closing views down Bridge Street
and High Street.
