A modern, possibly 1950s, estate pub on the east side of the town, now heavily graffitied. Plans have now been approved to demolish it and built a zero-carbon residential development in its place.
The Ringway
A substantial 1930s pub in this dormitory town north-west of Leeds, that presumably takes its name from the nearby Leeds Outer Ring Road which I think was built at that time. It has since been converted to a nursery.
The Cross Inn
A long, low, white-painted pub set back below the level of the main A52 road between Stoke and Ashbourne, a route that has seen a large number of pub closures. It never reopened after the first lockdown in 2020. It is situated near to the famous Yew Tree with its amazing collection of paraphernalia.
The Foxhunters Inn
A mock-Tudor pub on the main road between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. From the look of the site it must have suffered from being on the other side of the road from its car park. It has been closed since 2012 and, while not boarded up, is now very much overgrown. From this news report, the business appears to have been transferred to the Woodpacker Café across the road, and planning permission has been granted for conversion to three dwellings.
The Judge Walmesley
A roadside pub with a distinctive gabled roofline set on the old route of the A59 just west of the village of Whalley on the opposite side of the River Calder. The signage suggests it has been used as a nursery, but it now looks derelict. Earlier views on StreetView indicate it was once part of the Bass empire. Whalley’s landmark viaduct can just been seen in the background of the photo.
The Slip Inn
A solid redbrick street-corner pub on the eastern side of the city that has now been converted to a convenience store.
The Victoria
A rather impressive inter-wars pub in a kind of Arts and Crafts style, situated in the Lliswerry district on the eastern side of the city. It is now to be demolished and replaced with a block of fifteen flats.
The Spring Cottage
A typical 1960s pub on a large housing estate to the east of Stoke-on-Trent, still retaining its pub signage, but now repurposed as an off-licence and a fish and chip shop.
The Greenfinch
A former private house on the busy junction of Palatine Road and Lapwing Lane, converted to a pub by the then Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries in the early 1990s and initially named the Four in Hand. While not boarded up in the photo, the site has clearly been fenced off. It has now been converted to flats and offices.
The Squirrels
A handsome inter-wars mock-Tudor pub in this well-heeled village near Royal Ascot racecourse. There are plans to replace it with a new three-storey building including a pub/restaurant at ground level and apartments on the upper floors.
The New Seven Stars
A distinctive gabled pub on the main A49 road to the north of the village. It has been the Olive Garden Italian restaurant throughout the existence of StreetView, but until relatively recently the pub’s original name could still be seen in embossed lettering on the frontage, although it has now been removed.
The Green Lion
A large white-painted pub on the historic Dover Road in this large village east of the Medway Towns. The “Hedgehogs” lettering refers to a nursery chain who had hoped to take over the premises. The local press reports that there are still hopes to reopen it as a pub.
