Bull and Anchor Bishop St This name appears only once - on Bradford's survey of Coventry dated 1748-49. This would appear to have become the ANCHOR.


This is the badge of the Lord High Admiral and also the arm-badge of the Royal Navy's petty officers. Retired seamen who became licensees were fond of the name.
