Izaak Walton's birthplace, Eastgate Street, painted after the building was demolished. The building was being used as a coach house and stables in the late nineteenth century, but it was demolished in 1888 and the site is now occupied by the police station. Izaak Walton (1593–1683) was a famous angler and author whose best-known work 'The Compleat Angler' was published 1653 and is still in print. Walton was born in Stafford and was baptised at St Mary's Church, although he spent much of his early life in London. He returned to Staffordshire in his later years and the cottage in Shallowford, Half Head Farm, where he spent his retirement, has now been restored and opened as a museum.
