Wagon and Horses, 14 Sherbourne Street

Goods were carried all over the country by horse-drawn waggons before the coming of the railways. Many inns acted as agents and goods could be left there for sending on or for collection by local people. Wagons and horses continued to be a familiar sight in most areas as they carried goods or farm produce over short distances. c1900 this pub was leased by Phillips and Marriott for £15 per annum from W. Walton, Priory Street, Coventry. In the same year the lease was sold to W. Rowe. The pub was closed and compensated in 1907. It actually closed for business on 30th December that year.
