This inter-wars canalside pub in a rather grim industrial estate location would appear to have hit the rocks some time ago. See this press report. The site is currently being used as a hand car wash.
The Eagles
A distinctive weatherboarded pub with a large car park, situated on a tight bend on the main Shrewsbury-Bridgnorth road close to the River Severn. Not boarded up on StreetView, but showing few signs of life.

The Black Eagle
A typical back-street pub that retains its signage despite its current use as a Muslim education centre.
The Red Lion
A typical modern suburban pub whose situation on a major road junction has made it eminently suitable for conversion to a Tesco Express.
The Station
A long, white-painted pub on the main road north out of the city, near to its long-closed railway station.
The Horsfield Arms
A former Robinson’s pub situated on a busy road junction in front of the brewery’s packaging plant, visible in the background. On the edge of the Brinnington council estate, which is now entirely devoid of pubs.
The pub has been demolished since the StreetView image was taken.
The Five Oaks
A free-standing Victorian redbrick pub on the less smart eastern side of Knutsford, in recent years just known as “The Oaks”. Situated on a main road, with plenty of housing nearby, surely this could have been viable with the right formula.

The Station Hotel
An imposing redbrick corner pub probably dating from around the turn of the last century, situated in a former mining village. It looks rather smarter on the 2009 StreetView image than on my recent picture. Situated close to the well-known Creswell Crags beauty spot.

The Bay Horse
A substantial inter-wars pub, originally owned by Robinson’s, on a corner site in a residential area to the north-east of Hyde.
The StreetView image from April 2011 shows the brewer’s dray making a delivery.

The Beech Tree
A substantial inter-wars pub in Jacobean style with distinctive mullioned windows, originally built by Greenalls. It was the last pub in Barnton, a village with a population of over 5,000.

The King Arthur
Another massive inter-wars West Midlands roadhouse on the northern approach to Dudley. The site is now being redeveloped as an ALDI supermarket.
The Red Lion
A small backstreet pub in an industrial area to the west of Eccles.
