A large rural pub south of Carlisle that has obviously received considerable investment over the years. "Quey" is an old North of England term for a heifer.

The Monkey House
Yet another West Midlands estate pub. The rather severe architectural style suggests it may be 1950s rather than 1930s.
Incidentally, today is the first birthday of this blog, which so far has featured (including this one) 207 pubs.
The Britannia
A post-war pub on the main road to the ferry terminal facing Dover’s rather unappealing “seafront”.
The Crown
A small brick-built former Mansfield Brewery pub with a modern conservatory extension, on a now-bypassed section of road that used to be the A1.
The Raven
Yet another classic inter-wars Brewers’ Tudor Birmingham suburban pub bites the dust. Move a little bit up the road and it’s reduced to a heap of rubble.
The White Swan
An unassuming end-of-terrace pub in a South Lancs former mining town.
The Hawarden Castle
A large, white-painted pub mouldering away near the old bridge across the Dee. Before the new bridge was opened in the 1960s this must have been very popular with passing trade on the way to or from the North Wales coast.
The White Lion
A large, white-painted former Marston’s pub right opposite the Talbot.
The Golden Cross
A landmark 1930s pub in the fork of two roads near the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The Ship
A modern pub in a redeveloped area of the city just down the road from The Paddock.
The Doxey Arms
An untypically compact Brewers’ Tudor pub in a suburban location. Perhaps symbolically, it has an abandoned supermarket trolley outside.
The Royal Hotel
A large 19th century pub in the northern suburbs of the town, still with its Courage sign. Apparently in recent years it was popular with army personnel.
