I am specifically looking for the premises at No 4 Union Street. I know I am asking a lot, but if you don't ask . . many thanks! |

Warwick Row is the other side of Greyfriars Green but in front of the Quadrant is Warwick Road. However I think the Liberal club is that building in the centre of the picture as the Tote had an office there and the manager of the shop I worked in used to send his bets there. |

NeilsYard Coventry All posts by this member | 14 of 19 Mon 2nd Oct 2017 5:06am Member: Joined Aug 2010 Total posts:1708 Here's a slightly unusual photo in the spot that it's been taken from. I think the image is looking towards Union Street but taken from what I think is somewhere around a cleared area that was the Barracks, apparently on a chilly winter's day! It looks like the Peeping Tom has been cleared but I'm a bit intrigued by the line of supported buildings to the left? Old Maps indicate possibly what was on Bull Yard? Or have I got the wrong angle altogether?!

The building just showing on the extreme right of the photo is the Three Tuns. Where the cars are parked in the foreground, in Bull Yard, in the 50s you would find a wet fish stall and also Victor's ice cream ![]() |
