A small back-street pub to the west of the city centre. Not yet boarded up on StreetView, although the For Sale signs have appeared.

The Corporation
An impressive street-corner pub on the east side of the River Usk. The StreetView image shows it converted to flats.
The George
A typical small local pub in an area of terraced housing. This is another one that miraculously reopens as you move forward on StreetView.
The Abbey Hey Hotel
A long-closed former Bass pub off the beaten track in East Manchester, now in an advanced state of dereliction.
The Plough & Anchor
A typical main-road pub with a large car park, no doubt largely given over to dining in recent years. I am told this one has reopened since the StreetView image was taken.
The Mersey Arms
Another defunct pub in Birkenhead’s run-down docklands. Move forward a little and it magically sprouts some bushes.
Kings
A modern pub, originally a Greenalls house called the Kingfisher, which has gone through a number of unsuccessful “trendy bar” incarnations. Still open on StreetView – the photo was taken earlier this week.
Edit: This pub was later reopened as a branch of Wetherspoons.
The Ducie Arms
A former Whitbread pub in a run-down area of inner-city Manchester that has experienced a change in its ethnic makeup.
The Weavers
This is actually a modern pub in the centre of Cheadle village, converted from former shop premises. After a fairly short life it is now apparently to become a Turkish restaurant. It is believed that Wetherspoons took a look at it but decided it was too small for their format.
The Black Lion
A former Boddington’s pub on Hillgate with an ornate late Victorian or Edwardian exterior. Note the stone lion carving on the side wall.
The Old House at Home
A 1930s Holts pub tucked away in an obscure location close to the River Irwell.
The Eagle & Tun
An unusually named redbrick street-corner pub just east of the city centre in an area undergoing redevelopment.
