Like the first 3, not sure about the last two.

Cycled past the "Never Turn Back" on my full loaded extended Dunwich Dynamo.

May pay a visit.

Have fond childhood memories of round there but never went in.

Feel free to post any more.

West Bridgford Nottingham suburb had an interesting one, forget its name, possibly already listed.

I'm guessing early 20th century. Probably 1930s.

Actually like The Weatsheaf and it was designed by John and Sylvia Reid who designed iconic furniture for Stag in the 60's and 70's.

The Blue Bell, Moston, Manchester. Apparently the first purpose built pub in Manchester.

My youth hole. go in on a Saturday and Brian Kidd would be in one corner and Peter Hook in the other. Bought my first pint in there aged 14 for 67p. What a gaff.

I've checked that list from top to bottom and can't find our local on it...must be an oversight as it's a fine example of post-modern 60's concrete.

Never drink in a flat roofed pub.

Yes, it's a "'spoons" pub, and yes it will probably be instrumental in closing lots of other boozers in Ramsgate, but from an architectural point of view, it has tidied up a chunk of seafront that needed tidying..... The Royal Pavillion, Ramsgate.

On a similar note, the Peter Cushing in Whitstable, another "'spoons" pub, is a converted cinema, with many art nouveau decorative features. The outside isn't too special, but the interior is interesting

Yep. 1931 same as my house. Whole area was built at the same time, with a rule that no other pubs could be built within a certain distance of this one.

The Winter Gardens in Harrogate is another 'spoons pub in a fantastic building

Go for a pint on a Sunday afternoon and you'd be sharing one of the three bars with Nobby Stiles, Stan Bowles or Mani from the Stone Roses.

Many many stories.

Have a strange feeling i may have been in that. Is it a holts pub by any chance?

Probably the grade 2* listed Test Match? Distinctive 30's pub, which used to have a revolving door - and probably still has. I've not visited for years, as I generally boycott Greene King pubs since they bought and then closed the rather wonderful Hardy & Hansons' Kimberley brewery, despite promising to keep it in use, the lying bastards.

The Greyhound, Burlington St, Ashton was an amazing pub. Inside was very classy and the land lord matched!

It was where I started my drinking career and learned how to behave in a pub (no comments please, I went downhill afterwards!).
I was quite upset when they pulled it down to make crappy modern houses. Used to do the quiz night occasionally with my now wife and loved it as a teenager because there were 3 pool tables and a snooker table so could always get a game and feed money into the juke box. Fantastic nights!
