A small back street pub that, when it closed in 2019, was the last pub in the village. It has now been converted for residential use – the StreetView image shows it in mock-Tudor livery, a striking contrast with its current appearance.
The Saltersgate Inn
A familiar landmark on the road between Pickering and Whitby across the North York Moors, it was noted for having a fire continuously burning for over two hundred years. It closed in 2008 and, after various attempts to redevelop it fell through, was finally demolished in 2018.
The Railway
An unusual small mock-Tudor roadside pub, now converted for residential use. It takes its name from a long-closed branch of the Great Northern Railway running through the southern fringes of the town.
The Farmers Arms
A large Edwardian pub situated a couple of miles west of Stockport town centre in the angle of two main roads. It was put up for sale by owners Greene King in late 2019 and never reopened after the first lockdown. The large car park makes it a prime redevelopment opportunity. Surrounded by extensive areas of housing, it was the only pub for half a mile or more in any direction. (Photo courtesy of John Clarke)
The Bridge Inn
A large inter-wars pub in the Belle Vale area on the eastern side of the city, which appears to predate the surrounding housing.
The Barge
A large white-painted pub in the fork of two roads on the southern side of the town close to the Thames estuary, hence the name. There are currently proposals to convert it into a mosque and community centre.
The Royal Oak
An imposing Georgian-style pub on the bend of a road in this large village to the east of Leeds.
The Puffing Billy
A post-war estate-style pub in a back street location close to the Birmingham border. Its licence was revoked following a fatal stabbing in 2015, and there are now plans to demolish the derelict building, presumably for redevelopment as housing.
The Skinners Arms
A substantial Jacobean-style pub alongside a widened main road on the north side of the city, next to what looks like a row of back-to-back houses.
The Downsman
A cottage-style inter-wars pub with a steeply-pitched roof and dormer windows, in an estate on the north side of the town close to the South Downs. It has since been demolished to be replaced by housing.
The Wagon & Horses
A mock-Tudor pub on the edge of the town heading out on the main road towards Ripponden and Halifax. It later went through various incarnations as as Asian restaurant, as shown on the picture, but has since been demolished and replaced by housing.
The Allan Fold
A substantial stone-built pub to the south-west of Halifax commanding a view over the Calder Valley. It later reopend as the Hills View Hotel before closing again. The building next door with a pub-type sign but resembling a Victorian school is the King Cross Working Men’s Club.
