Coach and Horses – 1979

Happy Friday, the first one of 2012!

Today’s old photo shows the Ferry Street entrance to the Coach & Horses, dated October 16, 1979.

Here’s a perfect example of how “curb appeal” helps…

  • Wow. I had no idea the Coach has been around that long!

    What I wouldn't give to see that building with all the paint stripped off of it, flags in every holder, and all the upper windows opened up!

    Thanks Andrew!

  • That's amazing. I knew the Coach had been around for a long time, but from what I gathered it had been a shit hole like it is now for a very long time. I have seen tons of bands there and played there many times in the 90's/2000's, and even though it's beat up and has seen better days, when you go down there you can tell it was once a very attractive looking place. I haven't been there in a while, but there is a grandfather clock in there that has been there for AGES, that my last band used as the basis of our album cover, very cool stuff. I would LOVE to see a few inside photos of the place from this same era.

  • Is it still open ? I see a flyer on each door but tried to zoom in & it's to blurry. I imagine it is like most other businesses downtown and is closed. Thanks !!!

  • it is very much still open and it and the other 3 bars in that building are the best ones in town! Downtown's got a lot to offer!

  • The Coach is still open and is home ground for many of Windsors local bands. It may be in a bit of rough shape but you can sense the history and its still my favorite place to play.

  • What was this building before it was the Coach and Horses? It looks rather old. Was it a buisiness of some sort?

  • the building that the coach and the other bar on the main floor was Baum &Brodies furniture store back in the 50"s
