A former Whitbread pub on the once heavily-pubbed Hillgate, which has been closed for a number of years. It recently has been boarded up following some alternative use, not directly from its time as a pub.

The Leathern Bottle
Another classic post-war estate pub, still in M&B livery, not too far from the Eagle on the same road.
The Goose & Timber
A modern sports bar on the main road to the west of the town centre, previously known as Dukes.
The Old Bull & Butcher
A small roadside pub on the main road from Coventry to Banbury, near to the site of the former Rootes/Chrysler/Peugeot car plant, which appears in its last years to have become an Indian restaurant.
The Maskery
A Smith & Jones branded pub right in the centre of this busy Cheshire market town. Still open, although up for sale, on StreetView.

The Saltbrook
A small roadside pub in a surprisingly rural corner of the Black Country.
The Stag
A prominent roadside inn on the main road between Ringwood and Salisbury, that in its latter years was more of a restaurant called the Café Continental.
The Healing Well
A modern roadside pub on the busy A34 near Kidsgrove, which changed its name from the Millstone a few years ago but does not seem to have prospered from its new identity, as reported here. I assume the pun in the name is deliberate. It still shows as being open on StreetView.
The Throstle’s Nest
A small terraced pub on the Buxton road to the east of the town, which has been closed for a number of years and now presents a very sorry sight. There’s an interesting comment on WhatPub? – “No further details as the landlord does not want to go into a real ale guide. Presumably, he does not want your custom.”
The Raven
An imposing three-storey brick-built pub on the main Leek Road in an area of retail and industrial premises to the north of Stoke-on-Trent city centre. It has recently been brought back into use as a pharmacy.
The Hollywood
A monumental Late Victorian or Edwardian pub in the back streets of Edgeley, formerly tied to Wilsons, which has now become Little Giggles day nursery.

The Gardeners Arms
A stone-built street corner pub on a leafy suburban road opposite St Luke’s Hospital.
