Where exactly

Placed from the Ordnance Survey grid reference, NY3181356588, in Historic England's gazetteer of the scheme's premises. The building's use in 2018: residential.

At Thurstonfield, on the road west towards Kirkbampton, taken and refitted by the scheme in 1917 and closed by 1930. One of several Greyhounds in the district, with Burgh and Cotehill still trading. It was trading in July 1916, listed by the Cumberland News as the Greyhound, Thurstonfield. In 1901 its licensee, Mrs Huddert, was one of three in the Cumberland Ward whose licences were held over at the annual sessions because of a conviction during the year; the licence was renewed at the adjourned sessions that September, with a warning to be very careful.
