The Greyhound Hotel

The Greyhound Hotel is a building that has been converted into shops. It likely dates back to 1620 but was refaced in the late 18th century and completely rebuilt internally in 1991. The exterior features render over a timber frame, with brick side stacks and a double-pile pantile roof. The building has a double-depth plan and now serves as a facade to a late 20th-century shopping centre. It stands three storeys tall and has a three-window range. The nearly symmetrical front includes pilasters, a cornice, and a deep parapet. Modern shop fronts frame a tall segmental archway set in a flat-headed recess, which is adorned with two-leaf ornate steel gates. The building features two-storey canted oriel windows with 6/6-pane sashes flanked by 4/4-pane sashes, and a central 6/6-pane sash above the archway. Originally an early coaching inn, it is now part of the 1991 Galleries shopping complex.
