The Three Crowns

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 Admiral

The Admiral, Ancoats, Manchester

A modern estate-type pub in an area of inner-city redevelopment just off Oldham Road.

The Prince of Wales

The Prince of Wales, Gloucester

A brightly-painted former Whitbread pub near the site of the defunct Gloucester Eastgate station.

The Greyhound

The Greyhound, Sydenham, London

An attractive gabled pub on a South London high street, now sadly boarded up and fenced off prior to redevelopment.

The Flowing Bowl

The Flowing Bowl, Ramsgate, Kent

A typical 1930s estate pub, defunct but not yet boarded up, on the western fringes of Ramsgate close to Manston airport.

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 Woodcroft

The Woodcroft, Wavertree, Liverpool

An attractive cream-washed pub with inter-wars detailing opposite Aldi and ASDA in Liverpool’s inner-city wastelands.

The Queens

The Queens, Nottingham

A monumental former Shipstone’s pub right opposite Nottingham Station that is now a fireplace showroom.

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!
