A substantial white-painted roadside pub situated to the east of Hastings. The pub itself isn’t boarded up, but the extensive car park is fenced off – surely ripe for residential redevelopment.
The Oswestrian
A substantial cream-painted pub facing a small square on the southern edge of the town centre that was previously Oswestry Conservative Club.

The Iron Duke
A distinctive Art Deco pub bearing Whitbread livery at the north end of the town’s promenade that is now a Grade II listed building. Although the style is very much 1930s, it was in fact built in 1948 as a showpiecepub for local brewery Lacons. The road at the side is Jellicoe Way, suggesting a First World War naval theme, HMS Iron Duke having been Jellicoe’s flagship at Jutland.
The King’s Head
An old brick-built pub in the picturesque main street of England’s smallest city. I don’t know the history, but surely this is an entirely viable location, unless it is slated for retail conversion.

The Monson Arms
A typical post-war pub on the south-west side of the city, although its appearance suggests family dining, not just an estate boozer.
The Highfield
Another characteristic inter-wars pub on a large housing estate on the western side of the city of Chester.
The Broughton Arms
A former Greenalls pub, prominently situated on a road junction just on the Staffordshire side of the border with Cheshire. Still open on the StreetView image, which dates from 2011. Not far from the Rising Sun at Shraley Brook.

The Bridge Inn
A roadside pub in a sleepy village in the hills to the east of the Conwy valley.
The Black Swan
A once popular country pub in a tucked-away roral location between Congleton and Knutsford.
The Trafalgar
A small stone-built pub on the south-west side of Halifax. Planning permission has been obtained for a restaurant/takeaway.
The Barge & Bridge
A free-standing pub with a hint of Tudor styling in its architecture, situated between the canal and the railway. Since the photo was taken it has been demolished. It was originally called the Westwood House Hotel.
The Queensferry Hotel
An impressive inter-wars pub next to the old bridge on the original main road into North Wales. Part of the bridge is just visible to the right of the pub. Like the Hawarden Castle across the river, this must once have attracted plenty of trade from trippers caught in the notorious traffic queues.
