A pub with a handsome Edwardian frontage situated on the Rochdale Road just north of the town centre and close to the historic Olde Boar’s Head. It has been closed for many years and now appears to be used as offices.
The Bromford
Another handsome inter-wars Birmingham roadhouse standing on the Outer Ring Road on the eastern side of the city. It has since been demolished and replaced by a much larger block of flats with retail units on the ground floor.
The Tempest
Another post war pub on a council estate in Bradford with a very modernist looking extension on both sides of the pub. It suffered a fire in 2011 which completely gutted the building, Although the pub was still popular around the area and trading well, unfortunately the extent of the damage was too great and it has since been demolished.
The English Rose
A street-corner pub at the back of the station, once a CAMRA favourite noted for selling a large number of ever-changing guest ales. Planning permission has now been granted for conversion to residential use.
The Fairmile Inn
A classic 1930s Art Deco roadhouse on the main road south out of the city just inside the City Bypass. It was closed by 2008, so cutting the drink-drive limit in Scotland cannot be blamed for its demise. It has been replaced by a distinctive modernist wooden-clad building housing Craigdon Mountain Sports.
The Nab’s Head
A small rural pub east of Preston close to the ABInBev brewery at Samlesbury, commanding an excellent view over the surrounding countryside. It was previously a Thwaites tied house.
