Historic pub renamed in honour of controversial Coventry poet Philip Larkin
The former Tudor Rose is undergoing renovations and has had all of its signs changed.
In commemoration of one of the city’s most well-known sons, an old Coventry tavern has been renamed.
All of the signage for the Tudor Rose, which is located on the intersection of Corporation Street and The Burges, has been altered to read The Philip Larkin.
After it was revealed in December that the well-known tavern in the centre of the city was looking for a new tenant, the entire place is currently undergoing renovations.
With a new coat of paint, the building’s 23-year-old Tudor name is being replaced with the name of the contentious poet from the 20th century who grew up in Coventry.
Previously known as The Tally Ho, The Wine Lodge, and Eagle Vaults, the bar is presently closed while the work is being done.
Before relocating to Cheylesmore near Manor Road and enrolling in King Henry VIII School, Larkin was born in Radford in 1922 and stayed there until he was five years old.
