An inter-wars cottage-style pub in a village south of Dartford near the A2/M25 interchange. It closed in 2022, and a planning application has been submitted for a luxury car showroom on the site, which makes a change from yet more flats.
The Lad in the Lane
A distinctive half-timbered pub situated on the Outer Ring Road on the north-eastern side of the city. It claimed to be one of the oldest pubs in Birmingham, although obviously much extended and altered over the years. It closed in 2022 and was seriously damaged by fire earlier this month (November 2024).
The Bull’s Head
A street-corner pub in an area of car dealerships and industrial premises, which was in very poor condition by the time the StreetView image was taken in 2011. It had been demolished by 2015, and a much larger residential block has now been built on the site.
The Castle
A large and rather severe-looking inter-wars pub on an extensive corner site on the north-east side of the city. It closed in 2011 and is now a Tesco Express.
