According to the newspaper archives the tank was moved from Greyfriars Green to Paradise in 1938

I think that the concrete base for the tank was still there in the early 70's. I can recall asking what this strange bit of shaped concrete was for.

It was bought by Alfred Herbert when they wanted it moved from Greyfriars Green. In 1940 he decided to used it as salvage towards the war effort. Picture from the Coventry Herald.
