The Old Windmill

Photograph at the The Old Windmill plaque

Standing on Spon Street in Coventry, the Old Windmill offers a glimpse into the city's rich past. This historic public house is a Grade II Listed building, originating in the mid-15th century. Its construction is noted as having occurred around a tree trunk, a unique feature dating back to approximately 1451. The inn continues to serve as a public house today, maintaining its connection to the community it has been a part of for centuries.
