This photograph of a relatively rare inn sign was taken in Coventry in 1990. The Alhambra became a very popular theatre name in England during the Victorian age. This suggests that any pub bearing this name may have evolved from the old "Music Hall" pubs. Entertainment had long been a staple of the saloon bar, a room of the pub that first appeared in the late 1820's or early 1830's. The Alhambra name is taken from the great palace of the Moorish kings at Granada in Spain. It was built during the last Islamic sultanate on the Iberian peninsula, the Nasrid Dynasty [1238-1492]. The palace is lavishly decorated with stone, wood carvings and tile patterns on most of the ceilings, walls, and floors.
