45, 46 (The Greyhound) and 47 New Street

This building is an inn, possibly originally with two houses, now operating as an inn alongside two shops. It incorporates the entrance to the Reindeer Court Shopping Arcade. The core of the building likely dates to around 1801, commissioned by James Durnford, but it has earlier origins and has undergone subsequent alterations and additions throughout the 19th century, including the addition of shop fronts.

The inn is constructed of reddish brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring gauged brick arches and stone sills. The ground floor is stuccoed and painted in the central section. The roof is covered in plain tiles, and a tall brick stack with an oversailing course and decorative pots is located along the party wall, positioned slightly off-centre to the right.

The two-storey building with attics presents five windows on the first floor. A decorative modillion band runs along the eaves. The first floor windows, from left to right, consist of two 6/6 sash windows, two tripartite windows with a 6/6 sash between two 4/4 sashes, and a final 6/6 sash window. All are set in near-flush frames with flat arches and sills. Four renewed, flat-roofed attic dormers are visible, each with a 3/3 sash window; the two central dormers are wider and contain pairs of sashes.

The ground floor features a plinth in the centre. To the left is a shop front with fluted pilasters and a cornice. An entrance door is located to the left, a four-panel door incorporating glazed upper panels and flush-beaded lower panels, alongside a four-pane fixed shop window set on a brick plinth. Next is a carriage entrance marked by an elliptical arch constructed of gauged brick, with plank doors. This is followed by a tripartite window with a 6/6 sash set between two 2/2 sashes and a sill. An entrance door is present, a two-raised-and-fielded-panel door with an overlight contained within a timber surround and cornice. Two round-arched windows (with renewed plate glass and margin lights) are next, followed by another two-raised-and-fielded-panel door with a fanlight within a tooled architrave. To the right is a shop front with fluted pilasters at either end, a continuous frieze, and a cornice. The shop window, set on a plinth, has three plate-glass panes. It incorporates an entrance door, a four-panel door with glazed upper panels and flush-beaded lower panels. The rear of the building retains a variety of original window types, including 6/6, 8/8, and 3/3 sashes, all under elliptical arches.

The interior has not been inspected.

Historical records indicate that The Greyhound Inn was known by that name by 1766, although it may have operated as an inn prior to that date. Between 1801 and 1802, James Durnford purchased the inn and undertook some rebuilding work.
