Crown Inn, Cuckoo Lane
| According to Poole, "The road from Hay Lane towards Hill Top between the two churches was formerly known as 'Cuckoo Lane', in which stood the old Crown Inn, which was pulled down in 1783-84 and the site added to St. Michael's church yard". The author of Coventry Past and Passing states that the inn extended back to St. Michael's tower. Well over 500 pubs have this name, reflecting the popularity of an inn sign that has been used for some six hundred years. It is a simple visual symbol, easy to illustrate and easy to recognise whilst at the same time it demonstrates loyalty to the reigning monarch. | |||
