Drinking in an Old English Town

Foleshill, 24 Cromwell Street (Lowe, Aiers, Sidwell)

Address:	24 Cromwell Street, Red Lane
Became:	Bricklayers Arms
Premises that appear to have had a public house license from 1879 to 1893 and then a beerhouse license 1896 to 1913, followed by a public house license until today. It was a home brew pub till c1920. The 1879 entry is a bit of a guess. In the 1841 census John Lowe is the 9 year old son of Benjamin Lowe. The Lowe family are living with the Quinney family in Red House Road. By 1851 John Lowe had become a hand loom weaver in silk in Red House Road. Then in 1861 he is a silk weaver in Cromwell Road and in 1871 becoming a baker and grocer. These premises had a license by 1879 and seems to have become the Bricklayers Arms.
