An inter-wars cottage-style pub in a village south of Dartford near the A2/M25 interchange. It closed in 2022, and a planning application has been submitted for a luxury car showroom on the site, which makes a change from yet more flats.
The Lad in the Lane
A distinctive half-timbered pub situated on the Outer Ring Road on the north-eastern side of the city. It claimed to be one of the oldest pubs in Birmingham, although obviously much extended and altered over the years. It closed in 2022 and was seriously damaged by fire earlier this month (November 2024).
The Bull’s Head
A street-corner pub in an area of car dealerships and industrial premises, which was in very poor condition by the time the StreetView image was taken in 2011. It had been demolished by 2015, and a much larger residential block has now been built on the site.
The Castle
A large and rather severe-looking inter-wars pub on an extensive corner site on the north-east side of the city. It closed in 2011 and is now a Tesco Express.
The Mason’s Arms
A small, long-closed back-street pub situated near the impressive church of St Mary Magdalene and next to the rear exit of Taunton’s massive Wetherspoon’s, the Perkin Warbeck.

The Crown
A handsome three-storeyed redbrick pub on the approach to Nuneaton station. It is one of a pair of closed pubs with the Railway Tavern, which will be featured in a later post.
The Duke of Bridgewater
A three-storey Georgian redbrick pub situated close to a bridge over the Trent & Mersey Canal. It has been closed for over a decade and was damaged by fire earlier this year.
The Stag
A four-storey pub situated in a narrow side street just off the town’s pedestrianised High Street. The StreetView car couldn’t actually get up the street – it is just visible on the right in the StreetView image.

The Boatyard
A pub located on a narrow street on the north-east side of the city close to the Menai Strait and the pier.
The Bull’s Eye
This was the first new Watney’s pub to be built in Southampton after the Second World War. It has now become a Tesco Express.
The White Horse
A distinctive brown-and-white pub in the angle of two roads on the north side of the town. After lying empty for fifteen years, there are now plans to convert it into flats. Across the road is an imposing stone-built pub called the Cock.
The Falcon
A characteristic Victorian pub with a protruding lower storey, situated in the angle of two roads in West London.
