A pub situated below the level of the roadway on a back road between Alfreton and Ripley in the Derbyshire coalfield. It closed in 2007 and has since been converted to residential use. It gives its name to a station on the preserved Midland Railway – Butterley, which runs close by.
A post-war estate pub in the Allerton district on the west side of the city, set above the main road with no direct access from it. It closed in 2008 and has since been demolished, but nothing has yet been built on the site to replace it.
A neat inter-wars mock-Tudor pub, situated south-east of the town on the Blakenall Heath estate, which has been described as Britain’s roughest. It has since been converted into a branch of Heron Foods.
An extremely derelict pub on the north side of the Birkenhead docks, more recently known as the Blazing Stump. There are now somewhat unlikely-sounding plans to demolish the building and build a food hall on the site.
A tiny terraced pub located in a rundown area on the east side of the town centre, which closed permanently in March 2022.
A monumental stone-built former Marston’s pub at the top of the town on the road to Chapel-en-le-Frith (now the A6), that most recently traded as Imani’s Restaurant.
A three-storey redbrick pub on the eastern side of the town that once had its own bowling green. After a long period of lying derelict, it is now to be converted into flats.
A post-war pub set well back from the road, situated about a mile away from the Beehive on what was once the main A562 between Widnes and Liverpool. The site has since been redeveloped for housing.
An old stone-built pub on the west side of the city on the edge of the built-up area. The sign on the 2009 StreetView image says “Residential Development Opportunity”; it has since been demolished, but nothing built in its place.
A functional modern estate pub in the Castlefields area of Runcorn New Town, not boarded up as such, but clearly showing signs of neglect.
A large Victorian pub in a prosperous suburban area, advertised as being “To Let” but very much tinned up. It is reported that planning permission has been applied for by Pesto Restaurants to take it over.

A four-square street-corner pub, still in Truman’s livery, situated on a main road in south-east London that appears to have been narrowed by a pavement extension and the installation of a cycle lane.
