Unveiled: Stratford-on-Sea plans to bring back tourists
| Updated: 14:29, 01 April 2021
AMBITIOUS plans to attract tourists to Stratford can be revealed by the
Herald today.
On the back of calls to bring visitors back to the area after the pandemic, plus the return of the big wheel to the Rec, a new company has been set up to bring a touch of the tourist attraction to Stratford.
A spokesman for the company, Stratford On Sea, said: There s precious little in the area at the moment to encourage people to visit, and the success of the big wheel has proved that there s a real market for good old-fashioned entertainment, so we ve got a stack of ideas we d like to put into action.
But only metres away from the children’s theme park sits a little-known historic lodge. Many residents will be familiar with Bewsey Old Hall, the former stately home which dates back to the late 16th and was latterly converted into apartments. But far fewer will be aware of Bewsey New Hall, which borders Gulliver’s World car park and the portion of the park which will be converted into a Centre Parcs-style resort. The half-timbered manor house was constructed as a replacement for Bewsey Old Hall at the behest of the 4th Baron Lilford in the 1860s. But Lady Lilford disliked the now listed building so much that she refused to live in it.
