A handsome, four-square white-painted pub prominently situated in a village on the main road between Preston and Blackburn.
The Argyle Arms
A neat street-corner pub in an area of terraced housing on the south side of the town that has now been turned into a convenience store.
The Queen’s Hotel
An imposing former hotel tied to erstwhile local brewery Ward’s in a run-down industrial area on the north side of the city centre.
Players
A relatively modest 1930s mock-Tudor pub, originally the Cooper’s Arms, set back from the road on a housing estate to the west of the town. The extensive site must have considerable potential for residential development.
The Grapes
A characteristic large inter-wars pub on the north side of the city, where several attempts to redevelop the site as flats have so far been rejected.
The Shoulder of Mutton
A small back street pub that, when it closed in 2019, was the last pub in the village. It has now been converted for residential use – the StreetView image shows it in mock-Tudor livery, a striking contrast with its current appearance.
The Saltersgate Inn
A familiar landmark on the road between Pickering and Whitby across the North York Moors, it was noted for having a fire continuously burning for over two hundred years. It closed in 2008 and, after various attempts to redevelop it fell through, was finally demolished in 2018.
