  2. A famous writer who was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon? Even though Sarah Douglas was born and raised in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and knew that she wanted to act, she did try to expand options available to her. She worked in a factory and for a time, also in a sterilizing department of a hospital. She briefly moved to France and also undertook a teacher training course in English and Drama.

    Two famous sport events in England? On May 28th 2011 there was the Champions League Final at Wembley Stadium in London. There was also the Commonwealth Games from July 24th to August 3rd 2014 in Glasgow.

    What Mary Quant made famous in the 1960's? By 1966 Mary Quant was producing short waist mini dresses and skirts that were set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. It would not be right to suggest she invented the fashion mini skirt. In 1965 she took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and liking the shorter styles she made them even shorter for her boutique Bazaar.
