A charactecteristic 1980s estate pub at the extreme north end of Stoke-on-Trent. It closed early in 2022 and there are now fears locally that the site will be redeveloped for social housing. “The owner, Stockport-based Robinson's Brewery, said the venue did not fit its current business model.” It is still open on StreetView.
A handsome four-square redbrick pub on Rochdale Road on the north side of the town. The premises are now used as a surgery by Vets4Pets. The inscription above the door reads “Rebuilt AD 1893”.
A functional redbrick pub in the Hendon district on the south side of the city. It was once popular with students before the university campus was relocated away from the area, but has been closed since 2006. Plans have now been approved to convert it to apartments.
An unusually impressive post-war estate pub in the Kimberworth district of the town, with drum-shaped extensions on either side of the central block. Permission has now been granted for it to be demolished due to its poor state. The chap in the foreground with his carrier bag has now been immortalised on StreetView!
An attractive white-painted street-corner pub on the south-east side of the city. It has been closed for more than three years because of a structural issue, but planning permission has now been granted for a major refurbishment.
An attractive farmhouse-style pub in the St Mellons district on the north-east side of the city, which is reported to have been left to rot by pub company Star Pubs & Bars. It is still open on StreetView - the image is taken from the newspaper article.
A modern, possibly 1950s, estate pub on the east side of the town, now heavily graffitied. Plans have now been approved to demolish it and built a zero-carbon residential development in its place.
A substantial 1930s pub in this dormitory town north-west of Leeds, that presumably takes its name from the nearby Leeds Outer Ring Road which I think was built at that time. It has since been converted to a nursery.
A long, low, white-painted pub set back below the level of the main A52 road between Stoke and Ashbourne, a route that has seen a large number of pub closures. It never reopened after the first lockdown in 2020. It is situated near to the famous Yew Tree with its amazing collection of paraphernalia.
A mock-Tudor pub on the main road between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. From the look of the site it must have suffered from being on the other side of the road from its car park. It has been closed since 2012 and, while not boarded up, is now very much overgrown. From this news report, the business appears to have been transferred to the Woodpacker Café across the road, and planning permission has been granted for conversion to three dwellings.
A roadside pub with a distinctive gabled roofline set on the old route of the A59 just west of the village of Whalley on the opposite side of the River Calder. The signage suggests it has been used as a nursery, but it now looks derelict. Earlier views on StreetView indicate it was once part of the Bass empire. Whalley’s landmark viaduct can just been seen in the background of the photo.
A solid redbrick street-corner pub on the eastern side of the city that has now been converted to a convenience store.
