This is prewar painting of the pub by Coventry artist Sydney John Bunney:
The right hand side, although attached to the pub, was occupied by John Wm. Leavesley, confectioner and was destroyed in the war. The archway between was the entrance to Court 12. As yet I have little idea what the huge building to the right of that was used originally for? At the time of painting it housed a number of retailers including Smith's house furnishings. The shop front visible on the right of the painting was a fancy draper's owned by a Miss Neale.
