Yes the Greyhound, soulless place that was, probably only went in a couple of times. Years ago- you're right, I last ventured down Gorsey Bank in the late 80s and there were a few boarded up empties then, some big families lived on there, houses knocked through etc, always a couple of ponies tethered up on the front gardens.
Always seems to be plenty of building going on when I get over that way, no doubt hardly any of it is for social housing.
Did you use the Keys at all? I used to work with a bloke who virtually lived in there, Kev something, well known round there from what I remember, good darts player.
