Inspiration: My Home

0 Comments
I lived in Stratford, Taranaki for about 5 years and am looking at what I used to take for granted as inspiration. The whole town was based around Shakespeare and his plays. All the streets are named after things to do with him or his plays, the town is even named after Shakespeare's birth place in England.

We have a clocktower with New Zealand’s largest Glockenspiel clock:

I lived on Hamlet Street (not my street sign though): 

We have an old fashioned theatre:
And then I realised that there isn't much else in this small town. The idea is really good but the town could be designed to have more features that take people's interest in learning about Shakespeare.

There's also pioneer village which is a cool replica of old time Stratford when the settlers arrived. There are many different types of buildings from the butchery to the blacksmiths, but there are also urban and rural farms to show how all people lived. Its a really fascinating place.
