A small white-painted roadside pub in a popular tourist spot next to the Forest. It was converted from a private hotel in the 70s or 80s, but never seems to have prospered as a pub.
The King Edward
An impressive triangular corner pub boasting its own clock tower, situated right next to the Aston Expressway.
The Farmers Arms
A large roadside pub, still in Greenall’s livery, in an area that has seen large numbers of new houses built recently, so lack of potential customers cannot be used as an excuse for its closure. Between the 2011 StreetView image and my current picture it had a brief incarnation under an Italian pizzeria brand. Fairly close to the now-demolished Railway.

The New Inn
A rambling old redbrick pub a short distance up the road from the Foresters Arms, with an extensive garden that looks as though it may once have been a bowling green.
