An imposing redbrick corner pub probably dating from around the turn of the last century, situated in a former mining village. It looks rather smarter on the 2009 StreetView image than on my recent picture. Situated close to the well-known Creswell Crags beauty spot.

A substantial inter-wars pub, originally owned by Robinson’s, on a corner site in a residential area to the north-east of Hyde.
The StreetView image from April 2011 shows the brewer’s dray making a delivery.

A substantial inter-wars pub in Jacobean style with distinctive mullioned windows, originally built by Greenalls. It was the last pub in Barnton, a village with a population of over 5,000.

Another massive inter-wars West Midlands roadhouse on the northern approach to Dudley. The site is now being redeveloped as an ALDI supermarket.
A small backstreet pub in an industrial area to the west of Eccles.
A former Robinson’s pub on the main road between Mottram and Broadbottom, with no shortage of nearby properties, which I remember from the late 80s as being quite smart and having a healthy food trade. Three of the four pubs in Mottram have now closed – and indeed three of the four in Broadbottom.

A large Brewer’s Tudor pub rather stranded in the middle of a gyratory system on the north side of the city. The StreetView camera seems to have been afflicted by spots of rain when shooting this one.
A street-corner pub in a well-pubbed area to the west of the town centre, that was originally a Wilson’s house, was then sold to Banks’s and ended up in Marston’s livery.
A small white-painted street-corner pub in a typical Black Country area of mixed residential and industrial development.
A former Davenports pub with a clock tower, just outside the city centre, that later became Scarlets nightclub. The StreetView image shows it covered in scaffolding.
Just round the corner from the White Swan, this Brewer’s Tudor pub shown on StreetView in 2008 has now become Bolsover Antiques. Bolsover seems to have suffered particularly badly from pub closures, with three recently lost on or just off the central square, although the former premises of “The Keep Sports Bar” almost next door have now become Wetherspoon’s Pillar of Rock.
A second closed pub in this village facing the green opposite the Rose & Crown.
