If
you were the sort of person who frequented the Eclipse, you may recall the pub nearby called the Jubilee.
That was the first place I ever saw where large coloured gentlemen would stand outside with large bars of what looked like Cadbury's Dairy Milk, but which was of course, hashish (though I'm sure some poor twat got chocolate rather than hash somewhere along the line. It wasn't the sort of place where you could return it to Customer Service for a refund). In broad daylight. With shooters in their waistbands.

Quite an education for wide-eyed 17yr olds like us travelling into Cov to score.

Knocked down for accomodation for cunting students now. RIP

i do remember the jubilee.

I checked out the area where the eclipse building used to sit on my last visit but it seems the student accommodation has long gone too unless im missing something ? and I think from my quick drive by that the area is now nothing more than a car park ? I could be wrong but i have just took a squizz on google streetmaps and it seems to re-affirmed what i saw last time i passed their in the car... just tarmac :(

For all the bad things the people of Coventry have and do endure on a daily basis i have to say nothing seems to crush their spirits. I have also met the best kind of conversationalists whilst in and around Coventry whilst i lived there. There is something about being downtrodden that unites people maybe ?
