The Stag (also known as the Old Stag) is a former M&B house on the corner of Lamb Street and Bishop Street. It has fallen on hard times and is currently closed, although the pub seems to have struggled ever since it lost its major source of customers - the former Royal Mail sorting office opposite on Bishop Street - in 2010. The sorting office was only built in 1976 but has now been demolished to be replaced by Bishop Gate, seen here in the background, a block of Coventry University student accommodation that opened in 2018.
