A redbrick street-corner pub close to the BAe Systems shipyard, which appears to have been closed for a long time and is now sprouting vegetation.
The Old Red Lion
An attractive old pub on the now-bypassed former main road towards York, which has been closed down by the police due to the level of antisocial behaviour, possibly stemming from the neighbouring estate.
The Woodcutters
A small, long-closed rural pub now converted to residential use but retaining its nameboard, situated just south of the village of Foxt in deep countryside not far from Alton Towers.
The New Holly
A large pub on the A6 between Preston and Lancaster, which has gone through a variety of incarnations, most recently trading as a restaurant called Mediterraneon at the Holly. A planning application to demolish it and redevelop the site for housing has recently been judged inadequate. Very much a contre-jour shot on StreetView.
The Coniston
A back-street pub rather resembling a chapel, which was originally the Idle Liberal Club. It was situated behind the Oddfellows Hall.
The Oddfellows Hall
An imposing stone-built pub with a classical portico, situated on a steep street just down the hill from the famous Idle Working Men’s Club.
The Talbot
A red-brick back-street pub just west of the town centre that has now lost its Marston’s signage.
