A four-square redbrick former Hydes pub on the Stockport road just south of the town-centre crossroads at Crown Point. Since the StreetView image was taken, it appears to have been revived in some form but is currently listed as closed again.
The Freebodies Tavern
A modern estate-style pub in a mixed area south of the town centre that now looks very sorry for itself.
The Wheel
A four-square, cream-painted pub on the main street of this attractive village south-west of Derby near the Toyota plant. On the StreetView image from 2009 it is displaying banners saying “Under New Management” and “Finest Cask Ales and Lagers”, but now is sadly de-signed and with peeling paintwork.
The White Swan
An attractive double-gabled stone-built pub in the centre of this small former mining town noted for its magnificent 17th century castle.

The Foresters Arms
A large corner pub on the north side of the town that closed earlier this year after having experienced a steady decline and being the scene of one or two unfortunate incidents.
The Waggon & Horses
A former Marston’s pub on the main Ashbourne Road with distinctive stone window surrounds, still displaying all its signage on StreetView.
The White Lion
A small pub set back from the main A444 that has now made someone a nice house – even though it is opposite a van sales depot.
The Oddfellows’ Arms
A small redbrick street-corner pub in an area of terraced housing on the south side of the town, which has had its signage remoed but isn’t actually boarded up. Just down the street from the Labourers’ Union.
The Navigation
A roadside pub in a former mining area in the extreme south of the county, still looking quite smart on the 2011 StreetView image. The name refers to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal which once terminated nearby at Moira.
The Rose & Crown
A tall, shallow, three-storey pub facing the village green in a former mining area near Coalville. Still open on StreetView, but if you take a few steps forward it’s been tinned up.
The Brickmakers’ Arms
A roadside pub in a pleasant-looking suburban area north-west of Burton town centre.
The Old Bush
An old, gabled, half-timbered pub on Abbey Foregate, east of the town centre, once the main road to London.
