Drinking in an Old English Town

Eagle, 1 Bradford Street, Hillfields

In 1858 the Coventry Standard records the transfer of the license from Joseph Connop to Harry Dresser and in the 1861 census the licensee is given as Mark Butlin. The last mention we have is in 1866 when the pub was to let. (The map location below is estimated from the likely numbering of Bradford Street.)
