The Countess’s Arms

The Countess’s Arms, Weston Heath, Shropshire

A large roadside pub on the A41 south of Newport, that has obviously received considerable investment in the relatively recent past, but according to StreetView has been closed since at least 2009.

The Dane Valley

The Dane Valley, Margate, Kent

An impressive three-storey inter-wars estate pub on a housing estate on the south side of the town.

The Crown

The Crown, Inchbrook, Gloucestershire

A three-storey pub in a rather sorry state, situated on a sharp bend on the A46 on the fringes of the Cotswolds.

The Pheasant

The Pheasant, Welland, Worcestershire

A white-painted pub with a portico entrance prominently situated at a busy rural crossroads. Still looks very much open and inviting on StreetView.

The Railway

The Railway, Whitchurch, Shropshire

A distinctive Edwardian pub in an Arts and Crafts style standing on a busy crossroads halfway between the town centre and the station. It appears to have been converted to housing, but still carries some elements of Greenalls signage.

The Becconsall

The Becconsall, Hesketh Bank, Lancashire

A large inter-wars roadhouse-style pub, still in Tetley livery, that seems somewhat incongruous well off the main roads in a West Lancashire village.

The Swan

The Swan, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire

A double-fronted terraced pub, still in John Smith’s livery, on the main road between Ashton and Stalybridge. Also note the impressive green tiling on the front of the still-open White Horse a few doors to the right.

The Waterloo

The Waterloo, Stockport, Cheshire

A solid redbrick former Robinson’s pub south of the town centre just off Hillgate. The pub was situated opposite the former Strawberry Studios and in the past has seem many famous musicians enjoying a drink. Closed in August 2016 and still open on StreetView.

The Wheatsheaf

The Wheatsheaf, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire

A solid, white-painted pub just off the market square, now looking very sorry for itself. It’s already closed, although more identifiable as a pub, in the 2009 StreetView image.

The Shand

The Shand, Dundee, Angus

A grim looking post-war pub in a suburban part of the city, which has been described in the local press as an eyesore.

The Crown

The Crown, Evesham, Worcestershire

A large roadside pub facing the River Avon on the south side of the town, still apparently trading in the 2015 StreetView image. The extensive site, including spacious car park, makes this a prime site for redevelopment.
