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 hind is the female red deer, the male being the stag or hart. Early examples of this sign relate to St Giles, who is said to have withdrawn into a remote forest where a hind lived with him ans supplied him with milk. When the king's huntsmen pursued the hind St Giles caused thick bushes to spring up to protect it. In 1756, 6 soldiers were billeted here and in 1760 a grand flower show was held here. In the same year the pub was for sale. This appears to have been the ROEBUCK |
