The old building was dismantled, rebuilt and then dimsantled again later, rebuilt at Spon End. It certainly would not have stayed had this been a bomb site. If you look carefully it's very tidy rubble, and the roadway is intact. |

Does anyone know where the Roebuck/White Rose Inn was on Little Park Street? Also called the Yorkist meeting house. There are three pictures on Pictures of Coventry, c04898, c01894 and c01897. The last picture is from the back after damage and you can see the building opposite in part but I haven't found any buildings to match it. I'm not even sure which side of the road it was or roughly which end.
Thanks in advance. |
