The Greyhound
Located in the High Street opposite the town car
park, the Greyhound remains a popular pub in the
Town serving real ales and home cooked food. From both the arrangement of windows on the front elevation and the internal layout of the building this is likely to have originally been two properties. The right hand bar is set three steps up from the left part and is mostly separated by an internal wall. |

The list of names is from census returns, 1867 PO Directory and 1933 Kelly's Directory. They are therefore the occupants, not necessarily the licensee or owner. 1851: James Gardner [became Landlord of Rose &
Crown from 1861] |
