Mosque in premises of former public house, corner of Harnall Lane East and Freehold Street, Hillfields, Coventry
The Jalalabad Mosque is described by the city council as a men-only Bangladeshi mosque in the Deobandi tradition. https://cid.coventry.gov.uk/kb5/coventry/directory/service.action?id=Mg13O9a4xh0&slaction=ADD&itemid=pSOec59Tx1xkl3gGq_AA2K4y5oJOyXoBzCQPhuwD
The building was originally the Freehold Tavern and was built, with the rest of Freehold Street, around 1848, by the Freehold Land Society, which aimed to build houses that working men could buy, which would in turn give the male householder the right to vote. In 1879, the pub was renamed the Freemasons' Tavern. https://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/cph/main/pub.php?pg=freehold It appears to have closed in the 1990s. https://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/cph/main/pub.php?pg=freemasons_tavern
The exterior of the ground floor was faced with distinctive dark green glazed tiles, which can be seen in older Geograph photos, here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4474195 and here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3563331 . These have since been removed and replaced with beige-coloured tiles.
