The former Prince William Henry Inn is a row of vernacular cottages built in the late 18th century near to the Coventry canal where it is crossed by Foleshill Road. The pub had closed by the early 21st century and the owner applied to demolish it, but the City Council refused permission. The inn survives as a builders' supplies company, much of its detail hidden behind signs and displays. Note the Sikh khanda symbol on the gable end. See Fry, D & Smith, A, The Coventry we have lost, Simanda Press, 2018, p21, which includes a photo of the building from 1927.
