An imposing pub in the angle of two roads, remodelled by local brewers Magee Marshall in the 1920s and still bearing their initials on the gable. It later became the Moghul’s Palace restaurant, but has now been derelict for some years.
The Double Gloucester
A massive inter-wars suburban pub on the eastern side of the city, taking its name from the county’s eponymous cheese, and now in the process of residential redevelopment.
The Station Hotel
A large 1930s pub located in a perhaps surprising back street location in this suburb to the east of Stoke-on-Trent. The eponymous station has closed, although the railway line is still in operation.
The Manchester Arms
A substantial pub by the by-pass on the north-eastern side of the town. According to StreetView, it was converted to a Tesco Express at some time between 2011 and 2014. The first pub on this blog in the historic county of Huntingdonshire.
The Vale Royal
A large food-oriented pub, previously a Crown Carvery, situated on a B-road to the west of Wigan, and visible from the nearby M6 motorway. The estate agent’s board says “Change of use considered”. The StreetView image was captured on a beautiful Spring day in 2019.
The Alma Tavern
An ornate Edwardian pub advertising Bentley’s Rotherham Ales, with “Rebuilt 1909” in the gable. The similarly elaborate Cutlers’ Arms next door, proclaiming William Stones’ Cannon Ales, is still trading.
The Cavalier
This roadside pub in the shadow of an imposing church, and now in a sadly burnt-out state, was in fact the last to close in the Cross Green area of Leeds, and completes my series covering the pubs of that neighbourhood. Unusually for the area, it was tied to Bass rather than Tetley’s, although no doubt you would be more likely to have encountered Brew Ten and Toby Light rather than the eponymous Burton classic.
The Black Dog
This compact inter-wars pub in the Cross Green area of the city was actually demolished before StreetView was created, and the current view is unrecognisable. The Fisherman’s Hut can be seen in the background.
The Fisherman’s Hut
An imposing inter-wars “flat-iron” pub in the Cross Green area of the city, which has been closed since the final years of the last century.
The Cross Green
The pub that actually bears the name of the district, the premises now being occupied by “Badboy Burgers”.
The Spring Close
A small backstreet pub, still in Tetley’s livery, which was one of the last pubs to close in the East Leeds area of Cross Green. Note the horse grazing on the adjacent patch of waste ground on the StreetView image.
The Hampton
Another from the Cross Green area of East Leeds, this is a white-painted Victorian pub at right angles to the road in the shadow of a block of modern flats.
