![]() A Coventry Times article in December 1886, discussing the newly published portfolio of artist G. W. Webster, tells us that "No. 7 is a drawing of the "old Blackamoor's Head," in Derby-lane, in its present ruinous condition, and as this hostelry once possessed a history peculiar to itself, and as it is about to be demolished, its production will be the more acceptable." Its demolition, of course, was to make way for the Gulson Library. The image on the left is scanned from an original. | |||
