This is a bit convoluted but here goes:
first, this is the entry we are talking about The Village Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/54185/) (it always helps to include the link)
2. The address and post code are wrong, it should be "The Village, Urmston M41 6HS".
3. This is no longer a pub, it's a Thai restaurant called "The Village Inn Thai Restaurant" according to the Post Office. I've marked it closed.
4. It supposedly used to be called "The Greyhound Hotel" ( http://www.urmstonmanchester.com/Pubs/The-Village-Inn.html and the 2006 review by Mat Nichol) however I'm not fully convinced. Alan Hurdle has put the marker in about the right place.
5. The picture on this entry, http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/54185/ , appears to be of a building next door to the main part and which looks to have been part of the original Greyhound Hotel given the large Threlfalls advert and the words Greyhound Hotel on the side. Perhaps they always were two separate buildings/businesses and the Greyhound Hotel never became the Village Inn.
6. Your picture has been referred to Dave, probably for any one of the reasons above.
Google has it here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.442469,-2.383275,3a,75y,180h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sC6GGyhxWDWZMwqQ3KsvmqQ!2e0!6m1 !1e1 it shows, in May 2009, both the building with the Threlfalls ad and the one labelled Village Inn, Thai Restaurant now open.
