| 30th Jan 2012 | Norman Rees, formerly Swailes | Bolton, Lancs. | After my biological father died when I was 4 we moved to Coventry. We lived at 47 Elmsdale Ave. off Foleshill Road. |
| 26th Jan 2012 | Gary Whetton | Australia | Just came across this site while searching for family history. My mother is a Coventry lass and my GGF on her side (Dick Buttery) was featured on the cover of "Teamwork" news of the Nuffield Organization Febuary 1950 Volume 1 Number 6 (price of one penny). |

Re: Thistle pub. It had a room downstairs and another upstairs. The upstairs could be accessed from an external stairway or from inside. It was a Watneys pub in the 1960's, they sold Watneys Special Mild, not very strong and quite sweet, you could drink loads of it, just the job when under age. A crowd of us used to meet there on Friday and Saturday nights, then go on a pub crawl, usually to The Climax, Golden Cross, Godiva and end up in the Jag. [Sounds like a great topic to discuss on my Discussion Forum John] |
