    Ah yes, I remember it well. Demolished in the 80s for some anonymous looking shopping centre.
    (The half timbered pub opposite has the dubious honour of being the only pub to have ever thrown me out)

    If that's the half timbered pub I think it is - not more than five minutes or so walk from the Cathedral - it was the scene of much jollity back in the 1980s. I was on a business trip to Coventry with a young German chap and a few British colleagues when the German chap said "isn't this a lovely old pub". He couldn't understand why we all burst out laughing (well, it was funny at the time but then we had had a few bevvys).
