A prominent street-corner pub in an area of working-class terraced housing in the Roath district of the city. It was recently reported as having been taken over by squatters. And yes, despite appearances, that is a colour photo.

The Three Crowns
A modern Boddingtons estate-type pub that went through a short-lived and unsuccessful incarnation as the Cosmopolitan entertainment venue – as shown on StreetView – before its final closure.
The Talbot
Yet another small back-street pub in the Black Country. Take a step back and it’s magically open again.
The Railway
A small, narrow street-corner former Boddingtons pub now marooned in the inner-urban wastelands.
The Royal Mortar
Now looking very sorry for itself, this former Robinson’s pub in the once heavily-pubbed Hillgate area has now been closed for about ten years.
The Dudley Port
A Victorian pub with a modest road frontage that ranges a surprisingly long way back.
The Island House
A distinctive mock-Tudor building in the fork of two roads on the main Stafford Road running north out of the city.
The Unicorn
A striking 1930s pub in a prosperous commuter village, previously tied to Hydes, that went through a misconceived incarnation as “Corbans” (as shown on StreetView) before finally earlier this year being being turned into a locksmith’s.
The Viaduct
A large Georgian pub built of Bath stone at the foot of a steep hill in the picturesque Avon valley.
The Black Horse
Another monumental example of inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor, on the Birmingham New Road south of the city centre. Note how you can see the sky through gaps in the roof tiles. Move a few yards up the road and it magically disappears.
The Stoneleigh Arms
A small former Banks’s pub just south of the centre of this Midlands spa town which is much less upmarket than often imagined.
