A three-storey redbrick pub on the eastern side of the town that once had its own bowling green. After a long period of lying derelict, it is now to be converted into flats.
The Cock & Trumpet
A post-war pub set well back from the road, situated about a mile away from the Beehive on what was once the main A562 between Widnes and Liverpool. The site has since been redeveloped for housing.
The Old King’s Head
An old stone-built pub on the west side of the city on the edge of the built-up area. The sign on the 2009 StreetView image says “Residential Development Opportunity”; it has since been demolished, but nothing built in its place.
The Fiddlers Three
A functional modern estate pub in the Castlefields area of Runcorn New Town, not boarded up as such, but clearly showing signs of neglect.
The Hesketh
A large Victorian pub in a prosperous suburban area, advertised as being “To Let” but very much tinned up. It is reported that planning permission has been applied for by Pesto Restaurants to take it over.

The Black Horse
A four-square street-corner pub, still in Truman’s livery, situated on a main road in south-east London that appears to have been narrowed by a pavement extension and the installation of a cycle lane.
The Muncaster Arms
A monumental Victorian pub, roofless and open to the skies, marooned in an area of run-down industrial premises just inland form the docks. The image dates from 2009; it is still there, in an ever-worsening state of dereliction, in 2023.
The Fox and Hounds
A typical Northamptonshire ironstone building with a steeply-pitched roof, situatedon the north side of the town not far from the Dun Cow. Now converted to residential use.
The Wheatsheaf
A prominent inter-wars pub in Thwaites livery at the south end of the Neston built-up area on the road to Ness Gardens.

The Pagefield
A monumental, ornate late Victorian or Edwardian pub situated in a residential area to the north-west of the town centre. In its latter years it was dubbed “The Famous Pagefield” which was a common practice with Greenall’s brewery. This is the 1000th entry on this blog, and prompted a post on my main blog.
The Robin Hood
A compact backstreet pub on a street running parallel to and just to the south of the town’s main High Street.
The Cap & Bells
A postwar pub in John Smith’s livery on the notorious Buttershaw estate on the south-west side of the city, caught by StreetView on a gloomy October day in 2012. It has since been demolished and replaced by a medical centre.
