Old Shepherd and Shepherdess Inn From 1893 the landlord, James Tredell, appears to have prefixed the pub's name SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDESS with 'OLD'. In 1936 a new pub was built behind the old one. The old pub was demolished but the cellars of the old pub still remain under the car park of the new one. The new pub boasted that it was the only one in Coventry with revolving doors to the 'vaults'. Old Shepherd And Shepherdess When the new inn was built just before the old one closed a reporter from the Midland Daily Telegraph visited and spoke to Daniel Osborne, an 82 year old who had spent his entire life in the village. He recalled the old days: 'Fine place that but it'll never see the sights we saw here. This used to be a big calling place for the farmers. All the horses were tied up outside and when the farmers had a pint or two we saw some fun!' Shepherd Shepherdess The name was simplified in 2009 to the OLD SHEPHERD.
