A typical post-war pub on the south-west side of the city, although its appearance suggests family dining, not just an estate boozer.
The Highfield
Another characteristic inter-wars pub on a large housing estate on the western side of the city of Chester.
The Broughton Arms
A former Greenalls pub, prominently situated on a road junction just on the Staffordshire side of the border with Cheshire. Still open on the StreetView image, which dates from 2011. Not far from the Rising Sun at Shraley Brook.

The Bridge Inn
A roadside pub in a sleepy village in the hills to the east of the Conwy valley.
The Black Swan
A once popular country pub in a tucked-away roral location between Congleton and Knutsford.
The Trafalgar
A small stone-built pub on the south-west side of Halifax. Planning permission has been obtained for a restaurant/takeaway.
The Barge & Bridge
A free-standing pub with a hint of Tudor styling in its architecture, situated between the canal and the railway. Since the photo was taken it has been demolished. It was originally called the Westwood House Hotel.
The Queensferry Hotel
An impressive inter-wars pub next to the old bridge on the original main road into North Wales. Part of the bridge is just visible to the right of the pub. Like the Hawarden Castle across the river, this must once have attracted plenty of trade from trippers caught in the notorious traffic queues.
The Office
A substantial stone-built free house in a run-down industrial area on the north-west side of the city. The name – which presumably is not the original – offers an obvious opportunity for the excuse “Sorry, but I had to stay late at the office.”
The Victory
A monumental redbrick pub in an area of Victorian terraced housing on the north-west side of the town. Originally built by Magee Marshall, and later passed into the hands of Greenall Whitley. It is now planned for conversion to flats and retail use.
The Wellington
A small stone-built roadside pub on the steep hill linking Sowerby Bridge with Halifax, which was closed following a fatal fire.
The Spring Meadow
A short-lived estate pub on the south-east side of the town, only built in the 1980s, but now planned for replacement by a care home.
