This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1978, features the exterior of The Horseshoe public house on Church Street in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire. The archival image documents the building’s striking architectural contrast, with a light blue-painted ground floor topped by a traditional white-and-black timber-framed upper level under a slate roof. In the foreground, a prominent black-and-white directional road sign points toward Stratford (A34), Banbury (B4035), and Oxford (A34). Period transport is visible with a light blue BMC CA van emerging from the pub’s side archway and the rear of a red Mercedes-Benz saloon car in the lower right. The pub facade includes a decorative hanging sign shaped like a horseshoe and a small red barrel mounted on the roofline. This factual record preserves the historic character and local geography of this Cotswold market town during 1978, showcasing the intersection of heritage architecture and 20th-century road infrastructure.
