In 1871, work began to demolish many of the buildings that occupied this city centre area, including the original “Griffin Inn Hotel” on Griffin Lane, which is now Lower Park Row. “The Griffin”, as it stands today, was completed in 1873, and has traded as a public house ever since.

In 2010, a young bearded gentleman took over “The Griffin” and decided to spell it correctly, and so The Gryphon was born. The rest, as they say, is history.
