The Stag & Pheasant opened in 1830 and is a rare survivor of old Lockhurst Lane. Most of its neighbours were demolished in the course of the 20th century to make way for the Courtaulds textile works as it gradually expanded. See Fry, D & Smith, A, The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018, p26, which prints two photos of Lockhurst Lane in 1907 including the pub. An English flag is displayed in the porch; inside are hung both English and Indian flags, and the lounge is given over to a simple Indian restaurant.
