Re: A new Greyhound pub wall design competition.

Is there still a Greyhound pub wall to actually put the design on?
It doesn't look like it at the moment. The rear wall was always going to be re-built and this is where the winning design will go.

The developers had to remove the roof and some of the other external and internal walls. I understand all the slates from the roof and the London stock bricks will be re-used during the re-build.

There was considerable damage to the basement of the pub and floor beams caused by a fire at the pub a few years ago. I don't remember that happening but it might have been after the pub was closed. Anyone remember it?

The basement was also subsiding in the direction of the railway so this needed to be excavated and rebuilt.

So it will be virtually a new building but using all the old slates, bricks and even the Victorian tiles from the drinking corridor.
