The General Wolfe

The General Wolfe,St Austell, Cornwall

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.

The Seven Stars

The Seven Stars, Helston, Cornwall

An old pub on the broad, sloping Coinagehall Street which has streams of fresh water flowing down either side. WhatPub describes it as mainly appealing to a younger clientele, but it seems that it was unable to complete agains the nearby Blue Anchor, the historic home-brew house, which is just a few doors down, and the new Wetherspoon’s opposite.

The Waterside

The Waterside, Saltash, Cornwall

One of three quayside pubs in a spectacular location underneath the two bridges over the Tamar, which in the past has obviously received investment in the form of the bow-windowed extension. In the StreetView image from 2009 the vegetation is much less overgrown. If you turn round on StreetView you will spot that the nearby Union Inn is painted with a giant Union Flag on the front.
