The Greyhound Inn was situated on Holyhead Road and is now a pizza parlour.

In 1840 The owner of this pub was my gt gt gt gt gt grandfather Robert Eardley.When the railway came in the 19 th century a tunnel was dug nearby and he supplied the candles for the workmen. Also apparently there had been robberies at coaching inns at the time , burglars would hide in trunks and come out at night and rob the household.They got a very large trunk delivered and they sat up all night watching it but nothing happened!

This used to be a calling in pub on the way down to Oakengates from my home. The indifferent beer & surly staff meant you didn't stop for long, & everyone stopped going - not at all surprised when it became a pizza outlet. A pity, as it had an interesting history.
