I remember a pub with a sign: on one side "The Black Swan"... on the other "The Dirty Bird." Or something close to that

Nice shots. Especially WS's birthplace took me back. Your and my summer 1983 photo show the same building, but with several changes to the gardens and once-busy street.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look in and comment Fred it's much appreciated.Glad you liked them and thanks also for sharing your 1983 photo it's very good.The street is still very busy Fred but now it's with tourists from all over the world and is now pedestrianised with no vehicles at all.Thanks again for looking in Fred.

Love the photo of the house Jim....
It looks like you were not able to go inside, but in the middle window it looks as though someone standing at the window??

Odd Bodkins! Here I was thinking 1564! 1983, hmmmmm...
Appreciate both of you taking us thereabouts. Any of the Globe in the offing?

Nice shots, Angler. Interesting to see his birthplace. Of course, opinions abound as to whether Shakespeare actually wrote Shakespeare, whether it might have just been a 'nom de plume.' Some suggest it was Christopher Marlowe who did the writing. The 'National Inquirer' says it was a Lithuanian scullery wench named Fred who spoke not a word of English, but composed all the works by throwing 'Alphabits' cereal into the air and recording how the cereal letters landed.
Others say it was an infinite number of monkeys seated at an infinite number of typewriters. I myself suspect time-traveling aliens were behind it all. However, I note neither aliens, monkeys, Fred, nor Christopher Marlowe appear in any of your shots. Maybe they were also born in Shakespeare's house--did you check the names on the deed?
