Hi All,
I'm a new member researching my Cooper and Wilson family history in
the Preston area. Could I revive this thread on Preston pubs with a
request for info on the Greyhound Inn on London Road? One of my
great grandfathers ran this pub around 1850. I've learned that the
pub might still be standing as the Greyhound Hotel. Any help is much
appreciated!
(Addendum: Came across this website that lists quite a few pubs currently
active in Preston:

Has thumbnails and links to owners. Regards, Whiskyjack)

In the 1881 Census, my great great great great grandfather George Albert is living at 251 North Road, Preston and is a retired innkeeper 9he probably became one after 1871 as then he was a shoemaker). Was there a pub at that address or close by?

Don't know if this is relevant to your research, but i remember a tv program on the paranormal (might have been most haunted) did an investiagation into the Black A Moor Hotel a few years back. It get's shown every so often on the discovery channel.

Hi Wildwaver
The present delapidated pub was not the one that your Great Grandfather ran, it was re-built in the late 1950's / early 60's
Would you still like a photograph ??
