My grandparents used to run this pub. It was a
huge pub and it is sad to see it closed down. Jack and Rose Hull were my
grandparents and they were in the pub until the early 70’s when Jack sadly
died. Rose still lives in Coventry and celebrates her 100th birthday soon.
Great pub with great regulars. Lots of happy memories.
Would love a photo if anyone has any decent ones. |

Whilst recently staying in Somerset, England, I was shown a letter written
to my grandfather's cousin on 16th December 1940. The letter states that
some family members had been bombed out, another's house had been burned and
so all were staying at the Rose and Woodbine Hotel. Mr and Mrs Stout, other
family members, were also at the hotel - I now wonder if by an chance they
were the publicans at that time. |
