The Greyhound was a large coaching inn dating from 1620, originally two buildings
the Birmingham Hotel (previously the Bell) and the smaller Greyhound, these merged
to form one hotel named the Greyhound in the early 19th century. In 1958 a large
part of the pub was converted into shops and the whole front re-built in replica.
Today it serves as an entrance to the Galleries shopping centre and is no longer
a pub.
