An oddly squashed-looking three-storey former Thwaites pub, still open on StreetView.
The Turf Hotel
An oddly squashed-looking three-storey former Thwaites pub, still open on StreetView.
The Apollo
A modern estate pub in the shadow of a block of flats. Still looks just about open on StreetView.
The Orange Tree
A small pub in Newport’s run-down dockland area of Pill, shown on StreetView as replaced with modern housing.
The Hamlet
A large pub close to the Abbey Hey Hotel in an off-the-beaten-track area of East Manchester. A banner still hanging on the wall says “Lots more choice!”
The Garibaldi
A small back-street pub to the west of the city centre. Not yet boarded up on StreetView, although the For Sale signs have appeared.
The Corporation
An impressive street-corner pub on the east side of the River Usk. The StreetView image shows it converted to flats.
The George
A typical small local pub in an area of terraced housing. This is another one that miraculously reopens as you move forward on StreetView.
The Abbey Hey Hotel
A long-closed former Bass pub off the beaten track in East Manchester, now in an advanced state of dereliction.
The Plough & Anchor
A typical main-road pub with a large car park, no doubt largely given over to dining in recent years. I am told this one has reopened since the StreetView image was taken.
The Mersey Arms
Another defunct pub in Birkenhead’s run-down docklands. Move forward a little and it magically sprouts some bushes.
Kings
A modern pub, originally a Greenalls house called the Kingfisher, which has gone through a number of unsuccessful “trendy bar” incarnations. Still open on StreetView – the photo was taken earlier this week.
Edit: This pub was later reopened as a branch of Wetherspoons.
The Ducie Arms
A former Whitbread pub in a run-down area of inner-city Manchester that has experienced a change in its ethnic makeup.
