Can I find it on line, and what was it called? ![]() ![]() |

It seem to have been started in the mid eighties A reference in Coventry Live says that Ernie Newbold worked for both the Telegraph and Citizen before retiring in 1993

It was all about pubs, taverns and ale houses of old Coventry. It cost 35p.
I have looked after my copy, but lending it out has caused it to become a bit worse for wear.
Does anyone know if you can get a re-print? Mick Strong |
