It's a sign of the times that pubs are closing down at a rate of knots. It'll be a shame if this pub is pulled down, it'd make a great apartment block: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/disused-black-horse-pub-exhall-11294836

Spent many a happy night in there Lex.

Sadly, like many pubs, it just wasn't supported by the community. At one stage McDonalds allegedly wanted the site: it looks like it'll now be a scaffold yard, but for how long? Once sold, my bet is that it'll soon become housing, just as the rest of the land around there has.

It's a wonderful building, it'll be a shame if it is razed to the ground. There's there's some amazing things that can be done with old buildings - I often give Gloucester Docks as an example of what can be achieved with a bit of imagination.
