A distinctive free-standing pub with Tudor-style gables in a run-down inner-urban area.
The Brick House
An ornately decorated street-corner pub, still in Whitbread livery, just west of the town centre.
The Wheatsheaf
This pub in a small village near Stone still looks to be thriving on StreetView. The Brushmakers’ Arms a couple of doors up the street is still in business.

The Bush Hotel
A historic Georgian city-centre hotel that was once a drinking haunt of Dylan Thomas, now scheduled for demolition.
The Grey Mare
A street-corner pub situated next to the new tram route to Eccles. A modern makeover as “Bar and Food” hasn’t helped save it.
The Worthenbury Arms
A roadside village pub that is “To Let” on the 2009 StreetView image, but looking considerably more sorry for itself in the recent photo. Now bearing Thwaites signs, I recall it once being tied to Border Breweries. Despite its English-sounding name, this village is actually in Wales, in the detached “English Maelor” portion of Flintshire.
The Rising Sun
A small mock-Tudor pub with impressive chimneystacks sandwiched between larger modern shopping developments on a South London high street.
