The Roper map of 1807 shows a Bowling Green a couple of hundred yards up St. Nicholas Street, which appears to be somewhere close to where this pub was located. The Coventry Standard if 20th March 1840 tells us that there was an inquest held at Bowling Green public house, at Bishop Gate Green.
On the 11th January 1833 the Coventry Herald advertised an auction for a premises "situate near the Bowling Green, Bishop-Street".
The final auction for this pub was held on Thursday 23rd April 1840, at 5pm. This was followed just three weeks later, when on the 15th May 1840 there was advertised an auction for the "BUILDING LAND, formerly the BOWLING GREEN, situate near the Top of Bishop-Street", so the pub must have been demolished pretty quickly! | |||
