The River Cross been operating for several years and was last photographed in 2014 Image Judging by the building's alignment it was planned as the pub to serve the Bridge Street housing estate seen in the background. The estate first appears on a map of 1968-70, replacing streets of terraced houses (Sanders Street and Chapman Street) and some allotments. When we came to Warwick in the 1980s the pub was called The Greyhound, a reference to the dog-racing track up the river by Potterton's allotments. Sadly we have no photo of the stylish illuminated pub sign in the form of a greyhound: where did that go? The view is across Emscote Road during a fleeting gap in the traffic.
