I don't think he was a landlord from its pub days, Joey. I was told that by Councillor Jayne Innes on FB although she quickly removed the reply when she realised people were not happy with it going.

Ok thanks. She's brave going on Facebook with the current feelings against the Council's intent of demolishing everything in sight that wasn't built in the last 15 years. No wonder she deleted it !

Spent a few hours reading every post in the topic, and could not find any mention of the Burnt Post. Any history or stories?

Thanks Helen, I had seen that, but it doesn't say anything about the pub itself.

This is the Coventry Evening Telegraph special publication (CHEERS) that I have mentioned in a previous post years ago. It was published on March 23rd 1992 My copy is rather tatty now, but inside there are still good pictures and information. The inside of the front cover is the 1884 "Drink Plan" that Annewiggy posted some time ago and contains some of the following: "The Toast of Spon Street" "On the road to London" "Signs of the Times" "Taverns of Hillfields" "Earlsdon Inns" "Taverns of the Towpath"

CliffB has this better version of the image I posted of the Cheylesmore Inn and Fords Hospital but wider - with an interesting capture of the buildings to the side -

Double thumbs up Neil. I'm fairly sure that the inn building was originally 3 storey and at some point it was reduced to two. I'm not sure that it wasn't a much older building that was brick clad. While the west side of Warwick Lane was reasonable covered by images, the top end of the east side, near to the inn was neglected by artists and photographers.

According to "A Thousand Years of Coventry Pubs" it was originally called The Bell and referred to as the Blue Bell until 1896

Looking through the Coventry Newspapers the council were in the process of buying the premises of the Cheylesmore Inn, Warwick Lane, in 1936 for the purpose of road widening and opening up the view of Fords Hospital. It refers to setting back of the property and improvement to Curtis and Beamish property. In 1939 doors, windows, bricks and hardcore were being sold off the site. Something must have remained as it was destroyed during the war. I don't know much about the building so hope this fits in with what you know.

So Coventry council were knocking down pubs in 1936 to make roads wider. Seems nothing has changed much in 87 years?
