The Ash Hotel
The Ash Hotel, Heaton Norris, Lancs
An impressive redbrick Edwardian pub that was reported as having a smoke-in on its last night of trading. My picture again – it still shows as open on StreetView.
This pub has now re-opened as "The Ash Tea Rooms" - an apparently unlikely venture in this location!

The Oban Inn
The Oban Inn, Oban, Argyllshire
A pub in a prime spot by the harbour, well-known to tourists for many years. Surely this one can’t be permanently unviable.

The Setter Dog
The Setter Dog, Walker Barn, Cheshire
Once the “other pub” on the famous Cat & Fiddle road, this former Marston’s tied house has been closed for a number of years now. It had a characterful interior with a number of small, cosy rooms.

The Citizen
The Citizen, Rochdale, Lancs
A three-storey pub silhouetted against the sunset in a run-down part of the town, just down the road from the Navigation. Take a step forward on StreetView and, miraculously, it’s open again.

The Old Castle
The Old Castle, Abersychan, Monmouthshire
A white-painted pub in the backwaters of the South Wales mining valleys. And no, that isn’t smoke rising from the chimney. If you move forward in StreetView you will see that many windows are broken.
