Restoration At Its Best

The Establishment Bar & Grill, formerly The Old County Hall
Here is a little peek inside one of Coventry's newest licensed premises.  Less than 20 years ago this was the main courtroom in Coventry Crown & County Court before the Courts moved to new premises across town.  The building stood derelict for years.  What  a change. Note the Crown Crest above the seat where the Crown Court judge used to sit.  Just outside is the Cathedral, St Mary's Hall, and Holy Trinity Church.

I don't know what to make of  'the last public execution taking place in Cuckoo Lane'.  There has to be a story.
