The Greyhound Pub
this is the Greyhound pub next to st Marys Church. Both my Grandfather's downed many a pint here, my Dad learned how to drink here too. My Mum lived at 53 Sunny Gardens road behind the church and had to go and collect her father on a Sunday for dinner. One of my ancestors "Charles Bocking Rogers" is buried in the church graveyard under the tree. In my family research I've been here twice now and each time had a pint of Bombadier and raised a glass to my ancestors.
all the best

RE: RE: The Geyhound Pub
In the mid-fifties the Geyhound Pub was owned/managed by the Booker family. I was at St Mary's school and a friend of the son, Pete Booker. After school finished, and the pub was closed, we would move the tables and chairs to one side and play football in the bar: the one on the left as you look at the pub. I have fond memories of the pub and Hendon. I haven't seen Pete since we left school. My father is buried in the churchyard (1952) and my eldest son was christened there (1972).
