The Greyhound Hotel was situated on Salisbury Street. This grade-II listed pub was demolished in the late 1980s. A Tesco Express now stands on the site.

My parents owned the pub around those years, I grew up there. My father Stephen Burke Snr was the landlord I was born in Fordingbridge and remember the Greyhound Hotel in the 80`s when it was a derelict building - we used to play in it as kids. Thomas Boulter, the Famous Flying Highwayman stayed there while on a criminal escapade ( he stayed in the Original White Hart in Ringwood the following night, which is still open ) circa 1774, and Eisenhower and Churchill allegedly visited it before D-Day, while inspecting the troops.
