(or up t'north, the Mucky Duck). <br /> <br /> Almost opposite the theatre it's about 100 yards further along away from what feels like the town centre and faces the riverside gardens.<br /> <br /> Beware the Tree!<br /> The tree is a mulberry (I think). Perhaps a link to Shakespeare's famous mulberry tree, it produces fruit like long blackberries which stain your clothes like the devil.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/53208328444/" title="The Boat House.

(Perhaps rebuilt?)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/163363024@N04/">Banburyshire Photos</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/163363024@N04/53208289659/" title="Lady Macbeth. Part of the Gower Monument, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53208289659_f184d317df_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Lady Macbeth. Part of the Gower Monument, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire" /></a></p> <p>The monument was constructed in Paris over a 12 year period between 1876-1888 by Lord Ronald Gower and various associates and craftsman. It was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Oscar Wilde on 10 October 1888, at its original location in gardens to south of the Memorial Theatre. The monument was moved to its current location in 1933 following the rebuilding of the theatre after the devastating fire of 1926.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/137798897@N06/">Con
