A four-square former Boddingtons pub on the main A59 road on the east side of the city. It closed in 2014 and the building now houses an ethnic delicatessen.
The Golden Lion
A grey-painted street-corner pub in Caterham-on-the-Hill, the upper part of this prosperous Surrey commuter town. Someone has patriotically hung a coupleof Union flags outside. It closed in September 2019, and a planning application has been submitted for change of use to a retail unit with flats above.
The Ark
A functional modern pub in the Midanbury district on the east side of the city. It closed in 2013, and appears to have been demolished between 2016 and 2017.
The Devonshire Arms
One of many currently closed pubs in the Samuel Smith’s estate, situated just off the A61 on the western edge of the town close to Alfreton Park.
The Dog & Gun
A large piub on the A64 York Road to the east of the city centre, that once had a boxing gym upstairs. In the mid-2010s it was turned into a supermarket, as shown, but this in its turn did not prove successful, and it was later demolished and redeveloped as flats.
The Theobald Arms
A rural pub situated at Nunney Catch south of Nunney village with its well-known castle. It closed in 2002 after having been left on a dead end following the construction of a new road, and is now in a very derelict state.
The Windmill
A substantial white-painted pub prominently situated right next to M6 Junction 19. In the 2000s, it was expensively converted by Robinson’s Brewery to an upmarket dining format, but obviously this did not prove enough to save it. Still open on StreetView.

The Sundowner
A characteristic post-war estate pub situated on the western side of Widnes. StreetView indicates that it closed at some time between 2008 and 2012, and now appears to have been converted to residential use.
The Steamship
A back-street pub with a nautical name located on Naval Row in the old London docklands, but without any view of the river itself.
The Old Dog
A traditional city-centre pub that in its latter years operated as a late-night venue, only opening at 11 pm. It closed in July 2018.
The Bald Faced Stag
An impressive street-corner pub in the Shirley district on the north-west side of the city, which clearly predates the surrounding housing. It closed in 2011 and has since been converted to residential use.
The Old Tavern
A once attractive free house in a leafy location in the Fishponds district on the north-east side of the city. Planning permission has been applied for to turn it into student flats.
