Bell, 12 Old Church Road, Foleshill
| Alternative Addresses: | Bell Stiles | ||
In Jopson's Coventry Mercury of 16th April 1764 an auction was advertised at the Bell. From 1830 to 1874 this was the BEERHOUSE, Bell Green, though already known as the Bell.
In 1960 it was already thought to be several hundred years old and was owned by Phipps Northampton Brewery. At this time there were residential rooms, much used by the theatrical profession when playing the Coventry theatres. There was said to be a well under the lounge.
By 1979 it had become a Watneys pub and in 1995-6 it was closed and demolished.
 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. | |||
