HI,
aCTUALLY THE ENTRANCE TO THIS LITTLE 'ARCADE OF SHOPS WAS OPPOSITE the poster shop of COVENTRY THEATRE.
There was a big black and white pub almost next door to the right of it. Customers could walk through to the back of the arcade and come out in Palmer Lane. To the right was what was left of the river Sherbourne in the city, and an entry or alley through to the Burges
Halfway through this arcade was a cafe where I often took my children for some of the best bacon sandwiches in Coventry even tho'there was hardly room to sit.
Funnily enough the place did not smell of cooking.
I've was in Coventry for a long time-was a nurse at Gulson Hospital. We were poor and knew all the cheap places to eat on days off.
I know the place! "Shambles Arcade..." Used to have a bookshop and 2nd hand music shop there as well. It was popular with students when I was at the Poly in the 1990s... Demolished a few years ago... Along with the pub.
