It is more than 60 years since this pub pulled its final pint but in its formative years it was available to rent for £10.

The Watford Observer is delighted to share pictures from the Watford Museum archive and this week’s image is of a former town centre pub, The Greyhound.

The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “A new beer house was built in King Street in 1852 on land which had been part of the Watford Place estate. It is believed the pub was originally known as the Free Trader.

“There was certainly a pub by that name in King Street in 1875 as it was advertised as being available to rent for £10, the previous tenant having been Charles Cole.

“In 1881, The Greyhound was run by Mary Davis and included lodgings on the premises.

“The pub closed in 1961 and was demolished.”

Watford Museum is open Thursday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
