A white-painted roadside pub on the long hill climbing up to Clee Hill village.
The Antelope
A substantial inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor pub on the main A34 road heading north out of the town towards Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The Barton Inn
A big 1930s (or maybe even 1950s) pub, still in Whitbread livery, situated amongst postwar flats close to the Bridgewater Canal. It has been demolished since the 2012 StreetView image was taken.
The Old Plough
Four-square pub on the main road west out of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent’s “city centre”, which once had a good reputation for food. Now looking rather lost amongst the surrounding retail sheds.
The New Inn
A small street-corner pub, still in Whitbread livery, on the east side of the rather tatty town centre. Still open on StreetView.

The Boat
This inter-wars canalside pub in a rather grim industrial estate location would appear to have hit the rocks some time ago. See this press report. The site is currently being used as a hand car wash.
The Eagles
A distinctive weatherboarded pub with a large car park, situated on a tight bend on the main Shrewsbury-Bridgnorth road close to the River Severn. Not boarded up on StreetView, but showing few signs of life.

The Black Eagle
A typical back-street pub that retains its signage despite its current use as a Muslim education centre.
The Red Lion
A typical modern suburban pub whose situation on a major road junction has made it eminently suitable for conversion to a Tesco Express.
The Station
A long, white-painted pub on the main road north out of the city, near to its long-closed railway station.
The Horsfield Arms
A former Robinson’s pub situated on a busy road junction in front of the brewery’s packaging plant, visible in the background. On the edge of the Brinnington council estate, which is now entirely devoid of pubs.
The pub has been demolished since the StreetView image was taken.
The Five Oaks
A free-standing Victorian redbrick pub on the less smart eastern side of Knutsford, in recent years just known as “The Oaks”. Situated on a main road, with plenty of housing nearby, surely this could have been viable with the right formula.
