Abstract:		 Archaeological building recording was undertaken at The Whitmore, Sadler Road, Coventry (NGR SP 32338131). It was undertaken on behalf of Care Development Ltd, who proposed the demolition of the Whitmore Public House and construction of a nursing home on the same site, for which a planning application was submitted and approved. The project aimed to identify the historic nature of the structures on the site and provide a record of the buildings prior to their demolition. The survey of The Whitmore public house, and the following documentary research, shows the building was constructed on a plot of land which used to form part of late medieval 'lammas' land, that was used as common grazing ground. This area was also adjacent to an enclosed field system, forming part of Whitmore Park lands and estate. The building on the site dated to 1931 when it was constructed as part of the 'Hill Farm housing estate', on Whitmore Park Lane and Foster Road. Many of the features present within are characteristic of its neo-Elizabethan style, including leaded lights and stained glass designs in all the windows in the public areas of the building. There was very little change to the external structure, although some refurbishment and alterations to the servery took place several times in the later part of the 20th century. The external alterations were mainly concentrated to the rear and included an extension to create a bagatelle room on the site of the former verandah, with a new verandah being constructed outside the bagatelle room. Of note were the alterations to the north western frontage on Sadler Road to create a new 'off-sales' and window display area. A final phase of alterations occurred after 1991 when a single storey extension was constructed to provide a new block of men's toilets.
