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.
The Thimblemill
Another characteristic inter-wars Midlands roadhouse, facing a roundabout close to the Birmingham boundary.
