The Greyhound Pub: A memory of Hendon

The Greyhound Pub

A Memory of Hendon.

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

I am Christopher Rogers, son of Stephen Rogers and grandson of Charles Rogers who lived with his family at7 Fuller Street, Hendon, Middlesex. I went to St Mary's secondary modern senior school on Parson St between 1964 and 1972. I also had the pleasure of drinking at The Greyhound and The Chequers pub close by where I occasionally came across one of my Father's Brothers(?), I think Arthur, when I at 17/18 years old, and still at school, would go for a drink with some school pals... probably towards the end of my final term. I am visiting Australia in early 2016 and would like to meet Pete if he's in Melbourne, or between there and Sydney. I'll have a look for Charles Bocking Rogers grave and similarly toast his memory over the next few days as we welcome in 2016.
