A large three-storey post-war estate pub in the Farnley district on the south-west side of the city (see where they got the name from?), that looks more like a parade of shops. Since demolished and the site redeveloped for housing.
The Swan
An old pub that later became a Brewer's Fayre and had a Premier Inn added on to the back. It was a familiar landmark on the busy A556 road that connected Manchester to the M6, but once that was bypassed the amount of passing trade will have dramatically declined.

The Masons Arms
A three-storey pub on the eastern fringe of the centre of this North Nottinghamshire market town, with an impressive stone-clad ground floor frontage.
The Oyster Catcher
A modern pub built in 1961 by Liverpool brewery Higson’s, in a large housing estate at the northern tip of the Wirral peninsula, which closed in 2016. Renamed as Brambles in its final years, as shown in the photo.
The Riverway
A postwar pub, situated in an area of redeveloped housing between the city centre and the Trent bridge. Originally built by local brewery Shipstones, but later taken over by Samuel Smith.
The Prince of Wales
A large inter-wars pub formerly tied to John Smith’s, situated on the main Harrogate Road on the north-east side of the city.
The Junction
A distinctive flat-iron pub in the sharp angle of two roads to the south of the city centre, still bearing Hydes’ livery. The new housing opposite obviously hasn’t been enough to save it.
The Churchill Arms
A cream-painted pub in a large village in the Stour Valley in eastern Dorset. Plans have been lodged for conversion to residential use.
The New Inn
An ornately-decorated stone-faced late Victorian or Edwardian pub on the busy Dewsbury Road on the south side of the city, now converted to an Asian supermarket.
The Byrkley Arms
A street corner pub on the north-west side of the town near the town hall and station. On some earlier StreetView iterations it is called the Berkeley Arms, but the street it is on is Byrkley Street. The name comes from the site of a now demolished stately home to the west of the town, that once belonged to the Bass family and is now used as the St George’s Park National Football Centre.
Ye Old Harrow
A once attractive pub on the eastern fringe of the city centre that looks to be of a variety of different ages.
The Crown
A former Boddington’s pub spectacularly situated in the shadow of Stockport’s famous viaduct, that for many years was very successful as a multi-beer free house. It closed during the second lockdown, but hopefully there should be a good chance of it eventually reopening again.
