You can add the King Oswy, Brus and Touchdown pubs to that list, probably a couple on the Headland, the Square ring, Golden Flatts, & god knows where else. In fact the towns lost so many Boozers even places that haven't been around as long as I have been alive have been consigned to a footnote in stories about how people's parents met.

drank in every one of 'em !!!! There's been a lot more in years gone by before my time... but these boozers above were there for so long, it's a definite sign of the times that the estate pub in Britain is now dead

Its really weird that at home loads of pubs are closing when in my town here St Ives the local pubs are always packed I go in a pub called the white hart round the corner from my house and ever night there is at least 10-20 regulars in there and the do about 100-150 roasts a day on a weekend. Its a tiny place but they seem to be doing ok.

It's a crying shame that the tax on beer etc is so huge, and the Pubco's so greedy that the 'local' is fast becoming history. My old local was owned by the licensee, a free house and he did well enough to buy another one, but really that's the only way a pub can be successful now.

Quite a few estate pubs among those pics. Basically estate pubs are fucked - half the time they are only a couple of hundred yards from a supermarket or convenience store flogging booze for rock bottom prices. They don't get any pub crawl trade either.
