Closed Pubs

Recording the slow, sad death of the British pub

The White Bear

The White Bear, Tingley, Yorkshire

A distinctive weatherboarded pub that for many years was a landmark next to Junction 28 of the M62. It has recently been demolished.

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.
