An imposing three-storey brick-built pub on the main Leek Road in an area of retail and industrial premises to the north of Stoke-on-Trent city centre. It has recently been brought back into use as a pharmacy.
The Hollywood
A monumental Late Victorian or Edwardian pub in the back streets of Edgeley, formerly tied to Wilsons, which has now become Little Giggles day nursery.

The Gardeners Arms
A stone-built street corner pub on a leafy suburban road opposite St Luke’s Hospital.
The Stormy Petrel
An imposing 1930s roadhouse that looks as though it might have doubled as a residential hotel. In the past was well-known for biker meets. It has been demolished in recent weeks.
This is the 600th pub to be featured on this blog.
The Bull & Stirrup
An impressive former Higson’s pub just to the north of the city walls, once famous for its tiled mural of “Edgar’s Eight”. Since the StreetView image was taken it has been restored to life as a Wetherspoon’s.
The Royal Oak
A four-square redbrick former coaching inn in the main street of this small market town.
The Eagle
A typical post-war pub on a housing estate on the north side of Walsall.

The Moss Tavern
A roadside pub just east of Droylsden town centre which now has the Metrolink running past it.
The Robin Hood
Once the town’s smartest hotel, it has been derelict since 1998 and is now scheduled for demolition. Note the illuminated neon sign just below the roofline.
The Angel
A double-fronted pub on a side street just west of the town centre, which I understand is soon to be reopened.
The Spotted Cow
A substantial stone-built inter-wars pub on the main Rochdale road to the west of the town, still displaying Bass livery.
