Away from the busy High Street, this is a large pub with two distinct areas, the rear of which is available for functions. Originally dating from 1697 and rebuilt in 1899, it was destroyed by a gas explosion in 1977; the original plans were used for the subsequent rebuilding two years later. It is described by the Council as "an attractive, deftly designed building with effective and controlled use of decoration".

Historic Interest

Grade II listed, Historic England ref 1224373. Public house. Circa 1899 in Italianate style. Rebuilt 1979. Three storey double fronted with 3 window bays. Yellow stock brick with stucco dressings. Parapet with urn finials, and pedimented centre with flanking scrolls and cartouche with The Greyhound and above in tympanum 1899. Dentil cornice carried by brick pilasters. Gauged flat red brick arches to recessed windows with second floor red brick aprons, first floor splayed window bays with pilaster mullions and pedimented centres. Recessed ground floor frontage with pilasters carrying entablature, and central bay window flanked by entrances.
