I have the feeling it was around the Burges / Trinity Street area, but if anyone can tell us all more about it, that would be great.
Cheers,

The lady who asked me thinks there might have been one in the Stoke area, and I've been told it could've been somewhere around Humber Road. Anyone know? |

But in those days it was all just innocent fun. I am sure other areas also had their smaller versions of a less populated Bunny Run but none could match the one in town. Alan |

Just so this doesn't happen again!
Gosford Green was where the duel was due to take place.
Greyfriars Green was where the WWI tank sat on its plinth (by the way,what happened to it? Presumably was carted off during WWII for scrap, some would say "good riddance", shame in a way).![]() ![]() |

Where would you take her for a night out in Coventry city centre?
