Castle Tavern, High Street
In the 1861 census, Johnathan Prime is recorded as innkeeper here. This could possibly be the Castle Inn, Broadgate.
 High Street looking east in the early 1900s. This has been a common pub name for centuries. It is tempting to connect it with the phrase "an Englishman's home is his castle", a phrase which has been in use since the seventeenth century, but it is more likely to refer to: a. Coventry Castle. b. The castle in Coventry's Coat of Arms. c. A simple visual sign, easy to illustrate, and easy for patrons to recognise. |
