The building is now known as Greyhound Cottage, but unfortunately is behind high hedges so cannot be photographed.

Dr Martin Moss tells us:

Although the closure date of the Greyhound is given as around 1870 the pub was still going strong when my grandfather George Harry Long frequented the pub up to around 1930 when he used to get his haircut there. A novel service for a public house. In my own and my father's recollection, I am sure the Greyhound was still trading until the 1950s.
