Grapes Warwick La Grapes Warwick Lane after the blitz This pub was thought to be a seventeenth century timbered building. It also said to have been rebuilt timber by timber in the Civil War after being removed from outside the City Walls. In 1935 it was a Flowers house but was destroyed by bombing on 8th April 1941. A temporary wooden structure was used as the pub after the blitz (left), and this closed on 19th October 1959. The license was transferred to the Styvechale Arms on Kenpas Highway.


Likely a reference to the availability of wine.
