Title: The Greyhound Public House, Albert Street, Slough. About 1980 [Go to resource]
Description: Six victuallers were recorded in Upton-cum-Chalvey in 1794 and these probably included the Greyhound, Wheatsheaf and the Red Cow. The Greyhound had, at that time, extensive stabling on the opposite side of the road. The 1830 Beer Act created premises to drink in rather than Inns to stay the night in . Upton Lane became Albert Street in 1840 when private dwellings began to be built. The first reference to the property being used as a Public House was in 1847 when the landlord was Thomas Stanbrough from Iver. In 1970 a performing baby elephant escaped from a travelling circus and entered the pub from Albert Street. It then left by the back door and rudely relieved itself in the courtyard on the way out.
