Here is what we think is the only comprehensive record of pubs and beerhouses within the Coventry city boundaries going back as far as available records allow. This is an ongoing project so contributions, corrections or additions to this archive, especially anecdotes, photos and media are most welcome. Feel free to contact us for a pint and a chat anytime.
The Golden Eagle

|
| NAME | GOLDEN EAGLE INN |
| ALTERNATIVE NAMES | GOLDEN EAGLE HOTEL |
| ADDRESS | 178 FOLESHILL ROAD |
| ALTERNATIVE ADDRESSES | EAGLE STREET |
| Was this pub named from Eagle Street or was it the other way round? In 1903 the license of the Fox Inn, Cook Street, was transfered to the Golden Eagle, Foleshill Road, so some changes must have taken place at that date, especially as that is the earliest date I have for the pub. In 1909 this pub was purchased by Phillips and Marriott. Between 1931 and 1938 it advertised 'Bass's noted Burton ales, Guiness's stouts, choice wines and spirits'. In 1982 it was called 'a busy local with a popular landlord' but by 2011 it had closed and become a medical centre. |
