Drinking in an Old English Town

Red Rose Inn, 35 Much Park Street

This is quoted as a famous old inn of Coventry in Mary Dormer Harris' Life in an Old English Town. It is probably the ROSE INN, Much Park Street. Burbidge says that the Rose, Much Park Street, was known as the Red Rose and was used as a venue for Lancastrians to meet at the time of Henry VI and the Wars of the Roses.
