1841?BEERHOUSE, Well Street
Well St 1930s Looking through from Hales Street to Well Street in the 1930s. The name 'Reindeer' derives from the reins used when the animal is drawing a sledge. The reindeer's magnificent antlers make it a distinctive sign, thought these days to have a sentimental Father Christmas image. In 1840 the Coventry Standard mentions a wager between Mr Oakes, landlord of the Reindeer and Mr East of the George, Little Park Street. In the 1871 Census this pub is incorrectly recorded as High Street. This pub closed in 1906.
