A large, rather plain brick-built inter-wars estate pub in a former coal-mining area. It has since been demolished and replaced by flats.
The Stoneham Arms
A large inter-wars mock-Tudor pub on the main A27 on the north side of the city. It has now become a Co-op convenience store.
The Far Lees
A characteristic post-war estate-style pub on the south side of the city. It closed around 2008 and the building is now used as a convenience store.
The Manvers Arms
An attractive white-painted pub with a central bowed frontage situated in a village on the south side of the Trent east of Nottingham. It has been closed since 2019, but there are hopes to reopen it later in 2024.
The George and Dragon
A redbrick former Greene King pub on the main A4 Bath Road to the west of the town, where plans for a drive-thru Greggs have met with local opposition.
The Palomino
An estate pub on the west side of the town opened by Tolly Cobbold of Ipswich in 1963. It retained its original interior and was named as one of England’s Ten Best Post-War Pubs. However, despite efforts to save it, it has now been demolished and housing built on the site.
The Crown
A pub with a distinctive tiled frontage and arched windows, located just over the Salford boundary from Manchester city centre, and now used as a massage parlour and nail salon.
The Prince of Wales
A pub at the westernmost extent of the borough of Solihull in the south Birmingham suburbs, which most recently traded under the Sizzling Pubs brand. It has recently been declared an “eyesore”and trashed by vandals. There are plans to build a £9 million care home on the site.
The Crook Inn
A roadside pub in a remote location on the A701 road between Moffat and Broughton, which was refitted with an Art Deco-style interior in the 1930s. It has been closed since 2006, but has been acquired by a community group. This has not yet succeeded in reopening the pub, although a café has been established in a former disused outbuilding. Given Scotland’s draconian drink-driving law, the future prospects for a pub in such a spot do not look good.
The Travellers Inn
An unusual tall, narrow, free-standing pub on the Attercliffe Road on the north-east of the city. StreetView shows that it was demolished between November 2020 and October 2022
The Bank Corner
A large modern shopfront-style pub in the centre of this south Cheshire town that has more of the feeling of an overgrown village. It has something of the look of a Wetherspoon’s, but never actually was one.
The Langold Hotel
A large inter-wars mock-Tudor pub in a former mining village close to the Yorkshire border, which was demolished during the course of 2009. The banner says “Business Opportunity Available Now”, but it was never taken up.
