An attractive gabled pub on a corner site on the main Worcester Road to the south of the town. Still open on Streetview in July 2016.
The Alsager Arms
A substantial pub next to the station to the south of the town centre that has recently been demolished.
The Pudding & Pint
A typical West Midlands inter-wars suburban pub that StreetView shows as having been closed since at least 2009 and is now in a very sorry state.
The Little Bull
A modern mock-Tudor pub in the town centre that seems to have ended its days as a sports bar.
The Stamford Arms
A handsome mock-Tudor Edwardian roadhouse formerly tied to Whitbread. For many years it traded as a Beefeater, but in its latter days was rebranded as “Home”, as shown on the StreetView image. Not boarded up as such, but looking very sorry for itself now.

The Liver Inn
Once a prominent landmark on the A5104 Chester-Corwen road, this pub closed in 2007, although it still looks in good condition on the 2009 StreetView image. The photo was taken in 2012 and it is now in a much sorrier state. There are plans to redevelop it as housing. In its latter days I recall it being owned by Hydes Brewery.
The Silver Springs
A handsome corner pub just north of the town centre next to the M67 motorway, which appears in the photo, taken on 2 January 2017, to have been freshly boarded up.

The Four in Hand
The Four in Hand, Hattersley, Cheshire
A striking 1960s estate pub built in to one side of a tower block of flats, with the main drinking area on the first floor.
The Unity
A redbrick pub with attractive stonework prominently situated on the busy A6 right opposite the access road to Stockport station. It is believed that Robinson’s Brewery may still have plans to resurrect this one.
The Sozzled Sausage
A relatively modern opening on the town’s Market Place, previously called the Academy, that appears to have had a chequered career.

The Myerscough
An attractive rural pub that has for a long been a prominent landmark on the A59 east of Preston. The fact that Robinson’s have removed their signgage suggests they have no plans to reopen it themselves, but it’s hard to believe that a pub cannot be viable in this location.

The Bull’s Head
A medium-sized inter-wars pub situated next to a branch of the Stourbridge Canal. The image dates from 2009, but it was still disused in 2016, although showing signs of redevelopment.
