An imposing three-storey mid-terrace pub just off the town centre that is still very much open on StreetView, but now in a sadly derelict and boarded-up state.
The Globe
A modern pub on the main A460 close to an industrial estate, which looks small from the front but presumably rambles back further. Take a step back and it’s open again.
The Welcome
A redbrick roadside pub with a rendered ground floor, standing at a slightly odd angle to the road, not too far from the Hawthorne.
The Mill
A substantial roadside pub that is still open on StreetView, but closed shortly after the images were taken and has since been subject to two arson attacks, while the surrounding area has been drastically redeveloped.
The Commercial
The Commercial, Widnes, Lancashire
A small, foursquare pub in the Halton View area of the town which many years ago was transferred from Greenalls’ to Wilsons’ ownership as part of a “pub swap”.
The Seven Stars
This once-attractive pub alongside the Stafford-Sandon road used to be a
Burtonwood tied house and featured in many early editions of the Good Beer Guide. Take a step forward into 2009 and it’s open again.
The Sylvan Inn
A massive 1930s neo-Georgian pub unexpectedly hidden away in an area of private housing well off the main roads.
The Woodman
Once a small, unspoilt pub with extensive wood panelling, this was greatly extended and knocked through around 1990, but has now bitten the dust along with the Grove opposite. The Anchor to the left is still trading.
The Cock & Bull
A large postwar pub in distinctive yellow colouring near to the Rolls-Royce factory on the southern outskirts of Derby.
The Jubilee
A striking Gothic-styled building on the main road between Shaw and Milnrow, which must once have been an appealing destination pub.
The Crown
A substantial hotel in a pedestrianised area in the town centre, which has been closed and boarded for several years now. It looks less derelict on the 2009 StreetView image.
The Rifleman
A small roadside pub next to an industrial estate on the north side of the town.
The Ram Inn
A four-square street-corner pub just off the city centre, whose proximity to the next-door Woodlark can’t have done it any favours.
The Appleton Arms
Originally known as the Angel & Elephant, this substantial redbrick purpose-built pub appears to be in the process of conversion to residential use.
The Gate
The Gate, Smethwick, Staffordshire
Now being used as a builders’ merchant’s, this three-gabled pub set back from the road miraculously reopens as you step closer towards it.
The New Bridge Inn
The New Bridge Inn, Pinchbeck West, Lincolnshire
A white-painted pub standing beside the bridge over the River Glen in a characteristic Fenland landscape.
The New Inn
A big Victorian main-road pub with a striking colour scheme stemming from the combination of red brick and red paint. The corner sign points to the side door for the “New Inn Business Centre”, while the remainder has planning permission for restaurant conversion.
The Halfway House
The Halfway House, Longton, Staffordshire
A typical street-corner urban Potteries local a short distance north of Longton town centre.
The Double Dutch
The Double Dutch, Aldbrough, East Riding of Yorkshire
A substantial inter-wars pub in a coastal village that is rapidly being eroded by the sea. Go a couple of hundred yards further along the road and it comes to an abrupt end. Is this a unique pub name?
The Old Heavygate Inn
This looks like an old pub that was later surrounded by suburban development on the north-west side of the city. There’s a blogpost about its demise from Wee Beefy here.
