Scancoaches C409 LRP passing Anne Hathaway’s Cottage at Shottery – 16 Aug 1987 (54-17)

Sunday 16 August 1987 – Jonckheere Jubilee bodied Scania K112 C409 LRP passing Anne Hathaway’s Cottage at Shottery near Stratford-upon-Avon. It was new to Scancoaches, West London in December 1985. I presume it was still operated by them although it is difficult to ascertain from this shot.

Anne Hathaway, who became the wife of William Shakespeare, was born at this cottage in 1556. The Cottage was originally a farmhouse built in 1463. The first Hathaway to live in the cottage was Anne’s grandfather John Hathaway, who was a tenant sheep farmer.
