A large three-storeyed inn to the west of the town on the main road towards Halifax.
The Grove
A large three-storeyed inn to the west of the town on the main road towards Halifax.
The Victoria
A typical street-corner pub near to Birmingham City’s football ground.
The Woolpack
A surprisingly imposing pub in the bypassed town centre of Radcliffe close to the River Irwell. Still shows as open on StreetView.
The Anchor
A large half-timbered hotel just outside the centre of this East Anglian market town. Very sad to see such a striking historic building in a closed and boarded state.
The Bell & Bear
A striking Edwardian mock-Tudor pub with a possibly unique name, situated on the main road between Stoke itself and Hanley.
The Tipsy Gent
A small backstreet pub in a run-down part of Birmingham. It was originally called the Gipsy’s Tent, but the name was changed, whether for reasons of humour or political correctness it is impossible to say.
The Lane Arms
Another large inter-wars West Midlands pub, this time in a sadly burned-out state.
The Church Inn
A large, brick-built former Tetley’s pub that in its last years had something of a chequered history.
The County Hotel
A large Victorian Gothic building that doubled as a residential hotel and a “Wacky Warehouse” family dining pub. In this prosperous location it will probably be redeveloped as flats.
The Fox & Grapes
A small street-corner pub tucked away near the Bull Ring shopping development.
The Happy Prospect
The prospects for this modern white-painted estate pub in a suburb to the west of Reading don’t look very happy.
The Ball
An imposing Edwardian pub with distinctive bow windows in John Smith’s livery in a down-at-heel suburb of Sheffield.
The Royal Oak
A small red-painted roadside pub in a Suffolk village, typical of many in East Anglia.
The Shepherd’s Cottage
A main-road pub in the Black Country, dating from the 1930s or maybe 1950s, but much more plain and modest than many of the architectural extravaganzas of that era.
The Castle Hotel
A large Georgian building that looks like a residential hotel, now in an advanced state of decrepitude in this attractive village by the River Lune.
The Tatton Arms
An impressive Brewer’s Tudor pub in a tucked-away location facing the River Mersey.
The Black Diamond
Another small, unassuming pub in a former mining area in South Lancs. Move up the road and it’s magically open again.
