A large mock-Tudor pub with a cobbled forecourt commanding a bend on the main A56 just north of the town centre.
The Green Man
An attractive small inter-wars pub in a rural village just outside Milton Keynes, which closed suddenly during 2021.
The Haddon Hall
An impressive inter-wars former Tetley’s pub set back from the road on the west side of city, now repurposed to a variety of retail uses. When open, it featured in several episodes of the TV drama series “The Beiderbecke Tapes”.
The Old Blue Bell
An old three-storey pub, still in Mansfield livery, overlooking a roundabout on the west side of the town centre. There are now plans to redevelop the building to provide 15 studio apartments.
The Riverside Inn
A white-painted pub on the road down from the town centre to the bridge over the Wye.
The Gamecock
A substantial inter-wars pub with a hint of Brewer’s Tudor, standing in the angle of two main roads on the west side of the city, that has now become a Heron Foods store.
The Cherry Tree
A small, white-painted pub in an area of older housing on the south side of the city. There are plans to – you guessed it – redevelop the site as flats.
The John Bull
A plain modern pub on a post-war housing estate on the west side of the town. Originally tied to local brewers Wadworth’s, but presumably it no longer fitted the desired profile of their estate.
The Bagot Arms
Another impressive inter-wars roadhouse commanding a roundabout on the north-east side of the city, this time in the neo-Georgian style.
The Horse & Lion
A distinctive modern pub in an elevated position next to the tram route on the south side of the city, which apparently once appeared in an Arctic Monkeys video. It has since been converted to a convenience store
The Wheatsheaf
An inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor pub in a coastal village just south of Hunstanton, that has since been converted to a Tesco Express.
The Red Lion
A substantial free-standing pub in a rather out-of-the-way location on the eastern fringes of Stoke-on-Trent. Local residents are not happy with plans to replace it with sheltered accommodation for young adults with “complex needs”.
