Well St 1930s The earliest mention currently found in newspapers is two adverts in the Coventry Herald in September 1830, for "THAT old-established PUBLIC HOUSE, late known by the Sign of the "WAGGON AND HORSES", and now called the FOLESHILL TAVERN, situate in Well street, in the City of Coventry, in the occupation of Mr. REES." By 1835 Edward Hall was advertising in the Herald that he had lately removed "to the OLD WAGGON AND HORSES PUBLIC HOUSE, near to the WELL, in WELL-STREET". 1841 saw the license being transferred from William to Joseph Shepherd for the WAGGON AND HORSES, a name apparently retained until February 1875, after the Shepherd family had relinquished the pub, when the Herald again referred to the pub as the OLD WAGGON AND HORSES, which was used until closure in 1929. In 1913 this pub was leased by Phillips and Marriott for £30 per annum. They purchased it c1914 for £1,775 for the pub and one cottage with a further £120 for a second cottage. In 1929 the license was transferred to the Clarence Tavern, Earlsdon, whilst the license of the Victoria Vaults in Victoria Street was surrendered to facilitate this transfer.
