The red brick building on the left was the prison governer's house. The light stone building was the courtroom, designed by Samuel Eglinton and built 1783-84. Both buildings have been empty since the County Court moved to Much Park Street in 1989. The stonework on the courtroom underwent considerable renovation in 2000. The Victorian letter box on the side wall of the governer's house dates from the 1880s and has been out of use for several years but preserved as one of the oldest post boxes in Coventry. County Hall is a grade II* listed building.
