The Bunny Run

I was asked a question recently to which I didn't have a definite answer... "Whereabouts in Coventry was the bunny run?". I have the feeling it was around the Burges / Trinity Street area, but if anyone can tell us all more about it, that would be great. Cheers, Rob

I don't know if this is the same thing, but I am sure my old mother told me about watching The Bunny Run as a girl from the windows of The Reform Club in Warwick Row - this would be in the 1930's Cliff http://coventryinphotographs.fotopic.net/

Thanks Cliff - that could be yet another one that was around the city - sounds like there were a few. The lady who asked me thinks there might have been one in the Stoke area, and I've been told it could've been somewhere around Humber Road. Anyone know?

I think the current bunny run is Earlsdon Street on Friday / Saturday nights! :)

The Bunny run as I remember it around 1950 was always Trinity st, the Burges and Hales st. This being central to town, was, on a Saturday night a continual stream of young, unattached boys and girls chatting and wolf whistling each other. But in those days it was all just innocent fun. I am sure other areas also had their smaller versions of a less populated Bunny run but none could match the one in town.
