The Three Crowns, Walsall, Staffordshire
Yet another impressive inter-wars pub in the West Midlands, this one a long building with Dutch-style gables. Still open on StreetView.
The Lane Ends
The Lane Ends, Marple Bridge, Cheshire
A stone-built former Tetley pub high above Marple Bridge on the twisty road to Glossop. This is my recent photo – it still shows as open – and bathed in sunshine – on StreetView. The sign says that it is for sale by auction, and has planning permission for conversion to a four-bedroomed home.

The Britannia
The Britannia, Scarborough, North Riding of Yorkshire
A brightly-painted pub at the bottom of Scarborough’s main street near the harbour. Still shows as open on StreetView – I would be surprised if it stayed closed indefinitely in this location.

The Golden Lion
The Golden Lion, Eccles, Lancashire
A former Boddingtons pub right behind Holts’ impressive Royal Oak, now in a very sad state and looking as though it has been closed for a number of years.

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!
