 A rare postcard view of the Queens Hotel Bar, courtesy of Mike Cremin's Coventry on old picture postcards booklet. We are looking from Warwick Lane into Greyfriars Lane, with the then new Postal Sorting Office ahead. Out of shot to the right of the P.O. is Ford's Hospital. The building immediately to our right is the Cheylesmore Inn, formerly the Bell. 
Obviously this was the bar to the Queen's Hotel, Hertford Street, which must have had a separate license at this time.
From the start it was occasionally also referred to as the QUEEN'S HOTEL VAULTS, but from 1911 it took on that name exclusively.
It is often reported as being in Greyfriars Lane, but it actually stood in Warwick Lane, as this 1888 map extract shows.This could refer to a number of queens, Elizabeth I, Victoria or Anne being the usual candidates. | |||
