The hotel - said to have been a coaching inn - occupies a prominent site overlooking Carshalton ponds, at a bend in the main road from Sutton to Croydon. Nearer the camera is the rather imposing west range of the hotel, with its shaped - 'Dutch' - gables. Beyond it, closer to the road, is the weather-boarded east range, which - with features such as the tall chimney - appears older. The listing text suggests that the main hotel dates from the early 19th century, the weather-boarded portion from the previous century. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-206783-the-greyhound-inn-greater-london-authori Photo taken on a rather gloomy afternoon in early November.
