This is the first in a series of pubs in the East Leeds area of Cross Green submitted by local reader Kyle Reed. In recent years the area has been completely denuded of its pubs. There are some memories of better days here. It is an impressive triangular inter-wars pub with stone detailing on the facade.
An old pub in an attractive situation next to the bridge taking London Road over the River Ribble. After several years of closure, it is now going to be converted to an eatery.
Another characteristic post-war pub on the Swarcliffe estate on the eastern side of the city, fronted by an enormous car park. The image dates back to 2012 – it has since been replaced with, you’ve guessed it, flats.
This modern pub at the north end of the main street of this small Shropshire town has now been converted into a Co-op convenience store. Earlier images on StreetView show it still open as a pub.
A distinctive pub in the angle of two roads on the south-east edge of the city centre close to the Royal Armouries museum, which has been closed for many years. It stands in the shadow of an angular modern office building.
A stone-built former two-star hotel in a back street in this rather dour little Welsh market town.

An unusually austere-looking 1950s pub on the giant Middleton estate on the southern side of the city, now planned for conversion to a care home.
A small white-painted pub in a leafy suburban setting close to the famous racecourse.
A historic stone-built coaching inn and famous landmark on the A1 between Stamford and Grantham, once allegedly frequented by Dick Turpin. Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band took their name from this inn, which was a regular stop-off for musicians in the 1960s when touring the UK. It is the first pub featured on this blog in the county of Rutland.
A three-storey redbrick pub with a prominent clock tower in the sharp angle of two streets on the eastern side of the city.
A roadside pub in a small village in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, latterly renamed the Plume of Feathers. There are now fears that it will be converted to housing. Still open – as the Ostrich – on the StreetView image dating from 2011.
Edit 26/05/2001: It's now reported that this pub is to reopen and revert to its original name, which is good news.
A modern pub just off Ashton Old Road in East Manchester, built by Boddingtons in the 1960s to replace an earlier one of the same name.
