A modern estate-style pub in an area of new housing redeveloped from old terraced streets. It opened in 1977 to coincide with the Jubilee and thus managed to last 44 years. It closed earlier this month and owners Robinson’s lost no time in boarding it up and removing their signage.

A large pub next to the still operational station, with an ornate Jacobean-style extension that appears to date from the Edwardian period. It is now on the “wrong side of the tracks” from most of the town centre.
Pictured under threatening skies, a small white-painted roadside pub overlooking the sea near the defunct Pegwell Bay hovercraft terminal. Although not boarded up as such, the blackboard outside states “Closed Since 2017/04”.
A relatively modest brick-built inter-wars pub in the angle of two roads on the west side of the city.
What looks like a once-lively corner pub on the main road to Cleethorpes near the docks.
A four-square, flat-roofed inter-wars pub, distinguished by ornate stone door surrounds, standing in an elevated location on the south side of the town. In its latter years it was acquired by Lancashire brewery Thwaites.
A large stone-built street-corner pub on a busy shopping street on the north side of the city. There are plans to demolish it and build a block of flats on the site.
A small Victorian back-street pub on the north side of the town.
A typical post-war pub on the Fitton Hill estate on the south side of the town, now looking forlorn and roofless.
A cream-painted three-strey pub next to Wakefield Kirkgate, the less busy of the city’s two stations. It has been in a derelict and steadily deterioriating condition for many years.
Built in 1911, a free-standing, white-painted pub on the main shopping street with some interesting architectural details. It has since been demolished but nothing so far put in its place.
A handsome mock-Tudor pub just outside the town’s inner ring road, still bearing Ansell’s livery. Originally called the Coach & Horses. Be careful not to jump the red light!
