Clemens Street
Clemens Street
Row of shops along Clemens Street. The bridge in the background carries the railway from Banbury into Leamington Spa station. The building on the left, now housing John Atkins Cycles, was originally a non-conformist chapel, built in 1816, before becoming a theatre by the mid 19th Century. It later reverted to being a church, being shown as a Free Congregational Church on the 1887 1:500 town plan (with "seats for 400"). In around 1910 the building was bought by the Zephyr Carburettor Company who used it to manufacture brakes for the first Wolsley cars. In 1929 the company was bought by Automotive Products, the start of that company's long association with Leamington Spa until its decline in the late 20th Century.
