Description:The Greyhound Inn and neighbouring terraced houses on Manor Court Street (formerly known as Church Street) in Penkhull. Off to the right is St Thomas' Church and Penkhull Green. The Greyhound Inn site dates back to the late 16th century when it also housed a courthouse. A court sat here intermittently until the mid 19th century. It came under the control of the Burslem based Parker's Brewery in 1936 and was transformed into today's building. Small parts of the original sixteenth-century oak frame and stone chimney were incorporated into the rebuild. It is a grade II listed building. The 19th century terraced houses beyond the inn have been demolished and replaced with a range of shops.

The car parked in front of the inn is either a Wolseley 1500 or a Riley One-Point-Five. Both models were made between 1957 and 1965 by the British Motor Corporation, an amalgamation of the Austin, Morris, MG, Riley and Wolseley and later Jaguar makes.
