Bell, Hay Lane
| We have one record of this pub, in Jopson's Coventry Mercury of 2nd June 1783, when a quantity of household goods and brewing vessels belonging to Mr George Francis of this pub was to be sold by auction. The bell is a distinctive yet simple shape which has greatly appealed to sign makers through the centuries. Church bells and hand bells are usually those that are referred to in pub signs. | |||
