An unusual-looking pub, rather reminiscent of a chapel, set back from the road in the Sheepscar district on the north side of the city centre. It has since been demolished, but plans to replace it with flats fell through and the site is now just used as a car park.
A large detached mock-Tudor pub in a leafy area on the north side of the town. It has since been demolished and there are plans to build a mosque on the site.
A large inter-wars roadhouse a couple of miles south of Leek on the main road to Stone. This isn’t really a major arterial route, and it’s difficult to understand why such an impressive pub was ever built in this semi-rural location.

A modern pub on the south side of the city in the Beeston district with a distinctive stone surround to the door, since converted to a convenience store.
A redbrick roadside pub close to the Shropshire border on the A519 between Eccleshall and Newport, still displaying a Banks’s sign. Although not actually boarded up, the car park has been fenced off.
Although this appears like a typical parade of estate shops, looking back to the 2008 StreetView image shows that the ground floor was in fact entirely occupied by the pub, clearly from the same design school as the Fernlea. The most recent view suggestes it has been converted to flats during the current year.
A main road pub in the centre of the Wirral, opened in 1966 by Bass and most recently operated by Sizzling Pubs. The site is planned to be redeveloped as retirement apartments.
A pub with an unusual castellated facade in a village east of Leeds where as many businesses as possible seem to bear the village name. Now the Indian Lounge restaurant.
A handsome inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor pub on the north-west side of the city, photographed by StreetView on a beautiful, sunny Spring day in 2015. Unsurprisingly, there are now plans to demolish it and build a four-storey block of flats in its place.
A small roadside pub on the northern outskirts of the town, now looking distinctly forlorn.
A substantial, free-standing white-painted pub with distinctive arched windows on the south-east side of the city. The trendy moniker of “The Queens @ Stourton” clearly wasn’t enough to save it.
