A small, long-closed back-street pub situated near the impressive church of St Mary Magdalene and next to the rear exit of Taunton’s massive Wetherspoon’s, the Perkin Warbeck.

The Staplegrove Inn
A long, white-painted pub with a projecting front section, overlooking a roundabout on the north-west side of the town. It was reported in March this year that demolition was under way.
The Oxford Inn
A modern, possibly 1950s, estate pub on the east side of the town, now heavily graffitied. Plans have now been approved to demolish it and built a zero-carbon residential development in its place.
The Bungalow Inn
A pub that indeed is a modern bungalow, situated a few miles south of Bristol near the city’s airport, now standing forlorn behind an expanse of unused car park. It appears to have majored on a family-friendly appeal, with a soft play area inside and also an outdoor playground.
The Furnham Inn
A white-painted pub on the north side of the town whose owners have been trying without success to sell it since 2013. Although it stands on a main road, the Google cameras have not been that way since 2009, so it still shows as open on StreetView.
The King’s Head
An old brick-built pub in the picturesque main street of England’s smallest city. I don’t know the history, but surely this is an entirely viable location, unless it is slated for retail conversion.

The Englishcombe Inn
An impressive manorial-style suburban pub in Cotswold stone, opened in 1934 and now converted to a nursing home.
