A distinctive “flat iron” pub in the sharp angle of two roads on the west side of the city, that eventually become “Harry Ramjams” Indian restaurant.
The Bird in Hand
A substantial inter-wars pub on a main road to the north of the town centre. It still looks fairly spick-and-span on the StreetView image from last year, but it closed in November 2018, although a community group is aiming to reopen it.
The Halfway House
A rather impressive former Robinson’s pub on the scenic road between Barmouth and Dolgellau along the north side of the Mawddach estuary.
The Fleece
A substantial mock-Tudor roadside pub in a small village a few miles south of Grimsby, once tied to Hewitts Brewery. Still open on the StreetView image, which has not been updated since 2010.
The Criterion
A long-closed Georgian pub on a side street just south of the city centre.

The Mermaid
A typical 1960s pub on a Manchester overspill estate just over the Cheshire boundary, which backs on to the main railway line between Stockport and Wilmslow.
The Seven Stars
An old pub on the broad, sloping Coinagehall Street which has streams of fresh water flowing down either side. WhatPub describes it as mainly appealing to a younger clientele, but it seems that it was unable to complete agains the nearby Blue Anchor, the historic home-brew house, which is just a few doors down, and the new Wetherspoon’s opposite.

The King’s Head
A substantial white-painted roadside pub situated to the east of Hastings. The pub itself isn’t boarded up, but the extensive car park is fenced off – surely ripe for residential redevelopment.
The Oswestrian
A substantial cream-painted pub facing a small square on the southern edge of the town centre that was previously Oswestry Conservative Club.

The Iron Duke
A distinctive Art Deco pub bearing Whitbread livery at the north end of the town’s promenade that is now a Grade II listed building. Although the style is very much 1930s, it was in fact built in 1948 as a showpiecepub for local brewery Lacons. The road at the side is Jellicoe Way, suggesting a First World War naval theme, HMS Iron Duke having been Jellicoe’s flagship at Jutland.
The King’s Head
An old brick-built pub in the picturesque main street of England’s smallest city. I don’t know the history, but surely this is an entirely viable location, unless it is slated for retail conversion.

The Monson Arms
A typical post-war pub on the south-west side of the city, although its appearance suggests family dining, not just an estate boozer.
