00:00 My name's Oliver Naddis.
00:02 I've lived in Bilston all my life.
00:04 Unfortunately, as you can see, now, another big part of Bilston's gone.
00:10 The Greyhound.
00:11 It's been around for a long, long time.
00:14 And it's just... another part of Bilston gone.
00:17 There's not much of the old Bilston left now.
00:21 I mean, that's literally been around for hundreds of years.
00:24 But it was the manor house as well.
00:26 But things change.
00:29 If I saw some more, I'd probably throw out a petrol bomb for you in the wind or something.
00:33 And, as I say, whether or not, hopefully, they might rebuild it, you never know.
00:38 Because inside, there was a lot of wood panelling and old fireplaces.
00:43 And the wood panelling was fantastic.
00:45 The ceilings were plasterwork, was ops.
00:49 And, of course, that's all gone now.
00:53 I think it does anyway, as I say.
00:56 We'll see what happens next now.
00:57 See what else somebody could destroy.
