Coventry Pubs #1 - The Rainbow Inn

Allesley Village, Coventry

'Serving Ales Since 1680'.  My goodness me!

Coventry has plenty of pubs (also known as public houses or

licensed premises).  Many have closed over recent years.  So

now seems a good time to start photographing what is left.

I'll add more to this series from time to time.

Glimpse of Allesley Village

Allesley Village is located about 4 miles west of Coventry City Centre

on the western fringe of Coventry's built up area.

In 1968, most of the Village was designated a Conservation Area.

I will have to come back and focus

on specific buildings, one of which dates back to 

1557 (not photographed, yet).  And, there is a beautiful church.
