Chestnut Brade Drive This pub was built c1984 and was Banks's first pub in the city. The name was a result of a competition in the Coventry Citizen newspaper and was suggested by a theatre nurse at Walsgrave Hospital. In this case a cramp was an item of surgical equipment, although the sign has shown a sportsman's leg with cramp in the past. Later named CHESTNUT.
