Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken at The Greyhound Inn, Much Park Street, Coventry (NGR SP 3373 7868). It was undertaken on behalf of Halcrow Group Ltd, and their client Stoford Developments Ltd. The project aimed to identify the historic nature of the structure on the site and provide a record of the building's exterior. The recording of The Greyhound Inn concentrated on the exterior and façade of the building. The building is three storeys tall and has an off-centre front door with flat pilasters, frieze and moulded cornice. The ground and first floor windows have rusticated arches with keystones. The structure was built in the mid 18th century, as testified by the architectural style and brick size. It is shown on a 1748 map of Coventry, although a building on the same plot is shown on Speed's 1610 map of Coventry. The Greyhound was first mentioned in the 1850s in a trade directory and was shown as a public house on a Board of Health Map of 1851. |
