Allostock - The Three Greyhounds

In 2012 it was announced that ‘the old Yew Tree at the front of the pub has had to be taken down’. The roots of the tree were considered to be ‘upsetting the foundations of the pub’ and the major restoration work required to rescue the building left no alternative but to remove the tree. It was originally planned to create a green in front of the pub with the yew as a centre piece but this was not thought feasible. It was also considered that the yew, much of which had been replaced with cement, was becoming an eyesore.
