A monumental 1930s pub serving a large estate on the south side of the town. Still open on StreetView.
The Royal Oak
A large 1930s Robinson’s pub situated in a residential area away from the main street. Currently in the process of residential redevelopment – not sure whether this will involve demolition of the building.
The Windmill
A large and impressive post-war pub on a fairly smart estate on the north side of the city.
The Old Roundabout
A four-square stone-built pub in a run-down area where a lot of properties have been demolished. I assume the name refers to the fairground attraction rather than a traffic island.
The Swallow’s Nest
A distinctive gabled, three-storey pub in a council estate on the south side of the city. Although it looks like an older building, presumably it is contemporary with the surrounding houses. It has been closed for twenty years, but the site has only recently been approved for residential redevelopment.
The White Bear
A distinctive weatherboarded pub that for many years was a landmark next to Junction 28 of the M62. It has recently been demolished.
The Rutland Arms
A well-located pub in the centre of picturesque Baslow village, with its own car park, that surely has potential for reopening. I recall it being a Mansfield tied house in the past.
The Gainsborough
A typical post-war estate pub in a new development on the north side of Bristol, built by the local George’s Brewery in 1959, originally called the Blue Boy. See this post by Boak & Bailey for more information.
The Old House at Home
Once tied to Whitbread, this large suburban pub ended up in the hands of Greene King under their Meet and Eat brand. The site, including car park, will no doubt be very valuable for residential redevelopment.

The Weld Blundell
A prominent white-painted corner pub in a well-populated suburban area, just down the road from the National Inventory-listed Scotch Piper.
The Crown
This large white-painted corner pub in a Derbyshire mining village makes a poignant sight in the Autumn sunshine.
The Roebuck
The only pub in a substantial village in the north of the county. I understand there may be plans for a community buy-out.
