This pub is first seen mentioned in the Coventry Herald of 29th August 1851, with the passing of Edward, second son of Thomas Eaves. It is also labelled on the 1851 Board of Health map. In 1853 it was reported that "Ellen Cole, landlady of the Union Arms beerhouse, in Hill-field, was charged with keeping her house open and allowing persons to be drinking there after twelve o'clock on Friday night last". The location of the pub is variously reported as being St. Peters Street and Junction Street, and the premises in this location - the corner of Junction Street and St Peter's Street - was from 1853 known as the JUNCTION ARMS.


This name often refers to a political union. Possible unions are that of 1707 which united England and Scotland, or of 1536 uniting England and Wales, or possibly the marriage of Elizabeth of York with Henry VII uniting the houses of York and Lancaster.
