The Elizabethan Village was a tourist attraction at Bedfordale, Western Australia, created by British engineer Leo Fowler (1923–1992).[1]
History
It was opened in 1977 by Charles Court, the Premier of Western Australia.[2] In 1978 it was awarded the Sir David Brand Award for Tourism.[3]
It comprised facsimiles of several buildings from Stratford-upon-Avon including Shakespeare's Birthplace and Anne Hathaway's Cottage.[4]
As of April 2022[update] some of the buildings are still in use as the Last Drop Elizabethan,[5] formerly Elizabethan Village Pub, Cobwebs restaurant and the Leo Fowler function centre.[6][7]
