A distinctive, three-storey, gabled building close to the River Wensum, picked out in blinding sunshine.

The Kings Arms
A mock-Tudor pub in the apex of a road junction at the centre of a smart “urban village”.
The George
An imposing street-corner 1930s pub amidst modern office blocks, once tied to Liverpool brewers Higson’s. Standing on a busy road junction right in the town centre, this is a major eyesore. Still open on StreetView.
The Birmingham Arms
A street-corner pub on the Dudley Road in an extensively redeveloped area close to the City Hospital.
The Rosswyn
A former small hotel in this picturesque market town, which also had a public bar and in the past featured in the Good Beer Guide.

The Church
A former Wilson’s pub in what must have once been an attractive setting facing Ardwick Green just south of the city centre.
The Wilsons
A large early Victorian pub in Runcorn’s run-down Old Town area. Originally known as the Wilsons Hotel, it also went through a spell as a fake Irish pub. Still open – and bathed in sunshine – on StreetView.
The Booth Hall
The weeds are growing up in the outside drinking area of this impressive Georgian pub in a back street just off the city’s central square. Still open on StreetView.
The Admiral
A distinctive pub with a stone-faced ground floor and half-timbered upperworks close to Cadoxton railway station, Barry. Still open on StreetView.
The Ship
A 1930s pub on the busy St Martin’s roundabout south of the city centre. Note the distinctive West Country Breweries ceramic plaque to the left of the door.
The Ferryman & Firkin
An imposing Victorian building on Southampton’s High Street. Still open on StreetView. The Dolphin Hotel next door is also an impressive-looking place.
The Paddock
An impressive pub, probably dating from the inter-wars period, near to Salford’s modern shopping centre.
The Stag
A basic back-street pub in this picturesque market town. I have memories of setting the world to rights in the back room over a few pints of cloudy cider. My recent photo – it still shows as open, although For Sale, on StreetView. Note the banner which says “Mike and Karrie welcome old & new customers to The Stag”.
