Drinking in an Old English Town

Jailhouse, Much Park Street

These premises have been known by different names during their history:	FROM	TO	NAME
	1756	1845	Crown and Anchor
	1756	?	Crown
	1841	2001	Greyhound
	2001	2008	Jailhouse
This name came from the proximity of the pub to the Little Park Street Police Station. Until 2001 this was the GREYHOUND. From that time bands played in the back room and the pub lost its historic character. By the time the pub closed in 2008 the GREYHOUND signage had been returned.
