This pub is first recorded in 1815 when it was used for auctions.
By 1859 this pub had closed and been demolished.
 Once the through road to the "Great Park", one of Coventry's most ancient
and appropriately named streets is Much Park Street, seen here in 1907.
This sign was used by many tradesmen in the past, probably because it was a simple visual symbol. It appears to have no heraldic or religious significance. The royal orb is linked with Constantine the Great, who adopted a golden globe as a symbol and added a cross to it later when he was converted to Christianity. |
