A big inter-wars suburban pub right opposite Worcester Park station in the South-West London commuter belt, in a location that surely is not lacking in potential trade. Still open on StreetView, it is reported here to have been occupied by squatters.
A massive pub still partly in Greenalls’ livery, hidden away in a maze of modern housing redevelopment. It’s perhaps surprising this one actually survived so long. Renamed from the Great Western to avoid confusion with another pub.
A four-square stone-built pub on a cut-off former section of the A6 just north of Whaley Bridge, now in the process of being converted to residential use.
This is the pub that I wrote had the smell of death about it.

A distinctive free-standing pub with Tudor-style gables in a run-down inner-urban area.
An ornately decorated street-corner pub, still in Whitbread livery, just west of the town centre.
This pub in a small village near Stone still looks to be thriving on StreetView. The Brushmakers’ Arms a couple of doors up the street is still in business.

A historic Georgian city-centre hotel that was once a drinking haunt of Dylan Thomas, now scheduled for demolition.
A street-corner pub situated next to the new tram route to Eccles. A modern makeover as “Bar and Food” hasn’t helped save it.
A roadside village pub that is “To Let” on the 2009 StreetView image, but looking considerably more sorry for itself in the recent photo. Now bearing Thwaites signs, I recall it once being tied to Border Breweries. Despite its English-sounding name, this village is actually in Wales, in the detached “English Maelor” portion of Flintshire.
A small mock-Tudor pub with impressive chimneystacks sandwiched between larger modern shopping developments on a South London high street.
A big, four-square former Thwaites pub situated in an interesting coastal village which combines yacht marina with light industry and working port. It was converted to flats some years ago, but here’s a picture of it as a pub. There’s a plaque by the door giving its former name. The village still manages to sustain two other pubs.
This large pub by a roundabout to the west of the town centre was originally two separate pubs – the Prince Albert and the Prince of Orange – which were combined into one.
