A mock-Tudor pub in a singularly unpromising location on a dead-end overlooking the derelict harbour, which was formerly used for shipbreaking, and where many famous British warships and liners were dismantled. The large factory behind it shown on the 2009 StreetView image has now disappeared.
After being converted to a private dwelling, the building was demolished “by mistake” in 2012, but there are now plans to build two houses on the site. This is the first pub in Fife on this blog.
A long-closed, white-painted pub situated in the sharp angle of two roads on the west side of the town centre. Cornwall Council are now planning to spend a somewhat eye-watering £1.75 million to convert it into flats.
An attractive old stone-built pub situated opposite Horton Bank Country Park on the west side of the city. Once tied to Webster’s, it is now described as a forlorn spectacle.
A pub with an unusual Georgian-style frontage, set back from the road in the straggly main street of this small Lancashire town. There are now plans to convert it to a ground-floor retail unit with flats above.
A neat single-storey post-war estate pub on the north side of the city. The right-hand half has since been converted into a Heron Foods store, but it is hoped to reopen the remaining section as a pub.
A neat inter-wars pub on the west side of the town centre in the shadow of a couple of tower blocks of flats. It is described by CAMRA’s WhatPub site as having been “one of the few pubs in town to retain a traditional bar and lounge layout”.
An imposing redbrick pub with sandstone detailing, standing on the north side of the town on what was once the main road to Preston. The lettering shows that it was built by the Oldfield Brewery in 1905. It is now in a sadly decrepit state, with the ground floor boarded up, and broken upstairs windows with blinds flapping in the wind. Photo courtesy of SPBW North Irish Sea.
