Fox and Goose Pub Coalville

**auntie pearl** · 20th October 2010, 21:27

Hi can anyone help me and either send me a picture or tell me where I could get one of the old Fox and Goose Pub in Coalville before it became Minesotas. My Aunt and Uncle used to run the Fox and Goose and as they are now 90 years old they have mislaid most of their old photos and I'm on a mission to help them retrace this very important part of their lives and a very important part of my childhood x

Hi Thank you for that it is in that picture the large white pub with the blue signage saying minesotas, prior to that it was a traditional english pub and had lots of character. I am hoping to get a photo of it when it was the fox and goose my husband was going to paint it as a gift for my aunt as she is sadened by the demise of her photos, but if all else fails he can use this picture to at least get the building done and then he can add the details as we find them, if only my memory could help. Thanks again.
Regards
Heather
