The Botany Bay pub (once the Greyhound) is now a supermarket with flats above. The old molded advertising board has been punctured by two central heating gas boiler vents and the remains of three light fittings hang on but cannot, and have nothing to, illuminate below them. The shadows of the neighbouring chimney pots add to the sense of decay.
