This pub is thought to have existed in 1800. On Monday 26th September 1831 an auction was held for the DOG public house, Gosford Street - presumably renamed. (Coventry Herald, 23rd September.)
It is thought to have become the QUEENS HEAD, Gosford Street.
 Gosford Street 1912. (Photo courtesy of David Fry.) There are a number of possible explanations of this name: a) A famous mail coach which travelled between London and Birmingham. b) A heraldic reference to the Dukes of Newcastle. c) The greyhound was formerly used in the chase but is now mainly associated with greyhound racing. | |||
