And of course there's this excellent site.
It has numerous 'STANDBRIDGES' if you follow the Greyhound under ('G') and look at the research for it.

I've wanted to photograph this pub for ages, and this morning I had an unexpected opportunity
I don't recall any mention of it in the previous 1000+ posts to this thread 
Ooh! Just found this on the Courtaulds thread

I have vivid memories of the other Courtaulds site in Old Church Road which also backed on to Coventry Canal. In the 50s and early 60s I often had to go to the gas works with an old pram to buy a sack of coke. I would access the towpath at the side of The Royal pub and there was always an acrid cloud of acetate or some such chemical in the atmosphere. I would often need to run into clear air in order to breathe properly. It's amazing what kinds of very dangerous stuff that was simply released to atmosphere or into the cut which, in those days, was just about biologically dead.
The gas works always had a queue of people with various forms of transport - prams, bikes, trolleys - buying coke because it was much cheaper than coal. A man with a large narrow tined fork would scoop the coke into your sack and take your two bob.

Oh my goodness, I must have missed the Broomy thread in May, but belated thanks MR. There would be a whole new generation of locals in there these days. My dad would have been proud to be behind the pumps today. It's a good job I looked into the Royal Hotel thread or I would have overlooked it.

I went in search of 'The Three Shuttles' in Howard Street last week because of its connection with the ribbon weaving industry. Where was it?? Can anyone help? There was a building at the end of the street but no signage and it looked as if it may be next in line for demolition. Another one bites the dust!

I last went in the Shuttles with a friend who was looking for a friend about six years ago we went in on several occasions at different times hoping to meet my friends friend and to be honest the most people in there was only about 8 to 10 people at most but most times only 3 or 4 a far cry from its heyday. |

Many thanks Mick. I was hoping to get a photograph for my book but I didn't think it would be any good. I assume it was at the far end of Howard Street on the left hand side. Old Coventry and its historic pubs are fast disappearing - no more 'Three Shuttles' and no more 'Fob Watch'. What about the old Whitefriars Workhouse? If that is allowed to go further into disrepair it will be too late to do much about it. I was thinking of the damp - not to mention the graffiti.
Thanks anyway Mick
Very best wishes
Frances

Hi Frances I've just found a "planning statement" on the internet concerning the Three Shuttles all it states is a brief trading history and that it became unsustainable as a going concern and that it closed about two years ago but no mention of future development as there's no date on it can't really be sure when it actually closed. |

A belated thank you to Midland Red for the picture of the Royal pub. I've never been in but I passed it countless times in my youth. The land opposite was open in those days, a fair pitched up occasionally but it was basically waste ground where we played, there was a scrapyard in one corner. I see that a school now occupies part of the site. None of my family live in that area now but I'm determined to drop in for a half on one of my flying visits before it's too late. I hope the Royal survives. |
