A modern estate-style roadside pub under “Heritage” branding, since demolished.
The Nag’s Head
A substantial stone-faced street-corner pub on the main Derby Road running south out of the town.
The Blacksmith’s Arms
An attractive country pub in a quiet location south-east of Uttoxeter. Oddly, on the StreetView image, taken in 2009, it appears that the wing nearest the camera is in the process of being rebuilt from the ground up. Sadly the pub does not seem to have lasted long in its new guise.
The Red Lion
A stone-built pub on the main road through this small town, still open on StreetView. It appears to be in the middle of a busy shopping area. It is in John Smiths’ livery but the brewer’s name has been painted over.
The Earl of Warwick
A small cream-washed pub just off the large green of this surprisingly picturesque village, which still looks quite appealing on StreetView but certainly doesn’t now.
Heaton Norris Conservative Club
For a change, a closed and boarded club, in an area where many pubs have also closed. Note the “Casino Lounge” on the right. While this may not seem promising territory for a Conservative Club, in fact Lancashire had a strong tradition of working-class Toryism.
The Queen’s
A mock half-timbered pub on the main street of this prosperous commuter town, still apparently thriving on StreetView.
The Spread Eagle
Just round the corner from the New Inn, this small back-street pub also closed around the turn of the millennium, but in contrast the building has not been put to any good use and remains derelict.
The Shoulder of Mutton
An attractive village pub with double bay windows, which closed last year, and is now being converted into a private house. Taking on the functions of the village shop, as shown on the second picture, was obviously not enough to save it.
The Hereford Arms
An impressive redbrick street-corner pub probably dating from the late Victorian or Edwardian period, once well known as a bikers’ haunt.
The Prince Arthur
A distinctive free-standing street-corner pub that has had all its signage removed since being pictured on StreetView.
The Barley Mow
A once popular village pub overlooking Gresley Common. Planning permission for conversion to flats was obtained in 2010, although no progress has been evident so far.
The Spring Cottage
A typical small Black Country local that still looks fairly spick-and-span on StreetView.
