It was built in 1977 to coincide with the Queens Silver Jubilee. As pubs go, it didn't last long. Yep, it was a dump. Full of druggies and the like!

Went past the Dolphin in Canley the other day and that is shut now and is slowly being dismantled by the local population.
The Live and Let Live. Bit before my time and a bit out of my area but a boozer that had a massive reputation.
What was the one in Henley Green that got burnt down? Fernando will know if he reads this.

I worked at the Live and Let Live 1970 - 71. We used to have two bloody great German Shepherds roaming behind the bar in case of trouble. Great place! The only pubs I can think of in Henley Green are The White Horse in Broad Park Road. There was the Shire Horse at the bottom of Caradoc Close flats. I can't remember any being burnt down, but then again, I moved to Tile Hill for the last 15-20 years I was in Cov. Been down here for 3 years as well.

Anyone remember the Jules Verne in Grayswood Ave? Think it's the Three Spires again now. I worked in the JV for about 2 years as assistant manager. I remember the themed bars - The Balloon Bar and The Western Bar spring to mind. The main bar was the India Bar (or something like that).

Wasn't this once called the Red Horse? I'm sure it was sometime in the 60's? Or was it a bit further away?

Had a drink in that place from the age of about 14. An asian bloke took it over. I went in one day and he said he had been told I wasn't old enough to drink. I showed him my driving licence. I was 18 that day
Had gone in for a warm up drink ready for what the day had in for me.

Was a local of mine for a few years. Good pub in it's day. Did have a problem though with young lads that wanted to make a name for themselves. Used to start off in there on a matchday. Missed a few games though from being incapable of walking

I heard about the White Horse pub getting hit by arsonists a few years ago. Not sure if it is still there though. Not been around that way for a long time now.
MMMMM what a pub the Live And Let Live was. The first time I ever went to go in there I had my hand on the door and about to push it open. Something came flying out of a window. It sounded like a riot was going on inside. Took my hand off the door and walked away like a coward
