Coventry Pubs

We went to Hickory's in January it's well worth a visit.

Am I seeing things? Looks as if they are gutting the Broomfield Tavern.

It does look that way on Google Earth, Dream, but don't worry - the pub has been taken over again (a mate's brother and his partner now have it) and the Coventry and District Archaeological Society (CADAS) are digging out behind to try to unearth any 'treasures' from the foundations of an old row. There's some more info in a thread about it I'll try to link in here when I find it.

You're a gem Neil, thank you.

My mother used to be the cleaner for years in the Greyhound, sad it's gone

That is so sad.

Does anyone have photos of the old pubs in Gas Street.

There's a couple of shots in this thread as well Mick.

I spent my boyhood from the age of nine until my twenties living opposite in Momus Boulevard.

Craven Arms, Binley:

May be useful for the pubs thread as I know its been mentioned on there but not seen this one before recently shared on one of the Coventry Facebook pages - The Bear just before demolition in 1980ish. Today the lot where it was located is Barclays Bank. Post copied from topic High Street on 27th Aug 2018 10:10 am

Was there a reason that was demolished?

Same old story by the sounds of it flap (from realalerambles) In 1977 Mitchells and Butler applied for planning permission to demolish the pub and erect offices suitable for building society, banking or insurance company purposes. i.e £££

Well The Albany is now completely cover in scaffolding. Anyone know what they are doing with the building? I'm presuming flats/apartments.
