Closed Pubs: The Delamere Forest Inn

The Delamere Forest Inn

The Delamere Forest Inn, Hatchmere, Cheshire

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.

Recently been sold to a Developer of sorts (or so it seems).
There was outline planning permission to demolish it and replace with two houses - but so far no sign of imminent demolition. Will be interesting to see what happens to it.

Well, work has started ...... to convert it into a home.

So another one gone. But I suppose at least it's not being flattened.

A FAREWELL TO PUBS

The British pub as we know it is slowly but surely dying. This blog aims to mark its passing with a collection of Google StreetView links to images of closed pubs.

If you have any further suggestions, please send them to me by e-mail. I'm happy to accept photos of pubs that have shut after being pictured on GSV, but do need pics actually showing them closed.

Some of these pubs, as people have reported in the comments, have subsequently reopened. If that happens, it's good news.

I acknowledge the copyright of Google Maps in some of the pictures used on this blog, although a growing number are original photographs by me and other contributors.

Numerous people have contributed photos and suggestions for this blog, but I would particularly like to thank Midlands residents Dan Bishop and Peter Allen, and Yorkshire residents Luke H and Kyle Reed, for their prolific input.

You are welcome to use the photographs elsewhere, but I would appreciate it if you acknowledged the source.
