A typical post-war estate pub in a new development on the north side of Bristol, built by the local George’s Brewery in 1959, originally called the Blue Boy. See this post by Boak & Bailey for more information.
The Kite’s Nest
A white-painted pub with an unusual name in the fork of two roads on the south side of the town.

The Bridge Inn
A stone-built pub at a road junction on the western side of this Forest of Dean town.
The Gardener's Rest
A plain 1950s pub hidden away in the kind of run-down council estate you often find kept well out of sight in Southern England.

An imposing three-storey pub in a Bristol suburb close to the River Avon. There is a campaign to save it here.

Not as well known as its Cheshire namesake, a typical 1930s pub in the north-eastern quarter of the town, in this case in an area of mixed housing rather than a council estate.
