Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0F2 - This close-up editorial image shows the pub sign for The Mark Addy, the former riverside public house and restaurant beside the River Irwell on Stanley Street in Salford. The sign stands against a clear blue sky, with modern glass buildings and older red-brick industrial architecture behind it, placing the image in the changing cityscape between Salford and Manchester. The picture is useful for illustrating lost pubs, closed hospitality venues, riverside regeneration, urban change, beer branding, Heineken signage and the relationship between new development and older local landmarks.
The Mark Addy was named after Mark Addy, a Victorian Salford oarsman and publican remembered for rescuing more than 50 people from the dangerous and heavily polluted River Irwell. Its position beside the water made the name unusually apt, turning a river rescue story into a well-known pub identity. The venue opened in the early 1980s and became a distinctive Salford drinking and dining spot, partly because of its sunken waterside setting, terrace views and proximity to Manchester city stock-photo/gotonysmith-Centre.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>centre.
The pub later gained a strong food reputation when chef Robert Owen Brown became associated with it, helping it become one of the better-known modern British and northern food destinations in the city region. Reports and listings describe the site as closed, with CAMRA noting long-term closure from December 2015 and local coverage linking the decline to flooding, repair costs and the practical difficulty of maintaining a low-lying venue by the Irwell. As a result, the image can support stories about climate risk, flood damage, hospitality economics, independent restaurants, forgotten Salford institutions and memories of pre-regeneration nightlife.
For stock use, the readable sign gives immediate subject recognition, while the background contrast adds wider themes of gentrification, river corridors, city centre expansion, heritage loss, public memory and Salford's evolving identity

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6C1T - Dusk exterior view of Peveril of the Peak, the distinctive green stock-photo/gotonysmith-Tiled.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>tiled Manchester pub on Great Bridgewater Street, photographed with warm interior lights glowing through the windows and a deep blue evening sky above the city centre. Known locally as The Pev, the pub stands as a small, detached triangular survivor amid much taller offices, apartments and modern development, giving the scene a strong contrast between old Manchester drinking culture and the newer built environment around it. The glazed green and yellow ceramic tiled frontage, painted name band, decorative doorway and hanging pub sign make it one of the most instantly recognisable traditional boozers in Manchester. Central Manchester CAMRA lists Peveril of the Peak at 127 Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester, M1 5JQ, and describes its real ale, real fire, separate bars and historic character. CAMRA's heritage pub listing says the green tiled exterior hides an interior with polished wood, stained glass and traditional bench seating, with original bell pushes still present in parts of the pub. Historic England lists the building as Grade II, with the statutory address of 127 Chepstow Street, reflecting its corner position between Chepstow Street and Great Bridgewater Street. The image has strong editorial and commercial value for stories about Manchester pubs, CAMRA, cask ale, real ale, pub preservation, listed buildings, hospitality, nightlife, local identity, urban heritage and the survival of proper city centre pubs. The calm dusk setting, glowing windows and empty street frontage give the photograph a slightly nostalgic mood, suggesting an evening pint before the pub fills up. This is a useful stock image for features on British pub culture, northern social history, traditional pub architecture, Manchester tourism, conservation, changing city centres, independent hospitality and the continuing appeal of classic real ale houses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJFF - Former brewery site: Stanhope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L8, England, UK
Higsons was a major Liverpool brewery founded in 1780, historically based on Stanhope Street in the Baltic Triangle area of the city. Brewing ceased in the 1990s, but the brand remains strongly associated with Liverpool brewing heritage. A close-up photograph of a Higsons Pale Ale cask ale beer clip mounted on a traditional handpull inside a Liverpool pub, England. The blue circular badge displays the Higsons branding, including the founding date of 1780 and the wording Liverpool's Original Beer, reinforcing the brand's deep association with the city's brewing history.
Higsons was one of Liverpool's most prominent historic breweries, operating for over two centuries from its main site on Stanhope Street before closing in the late twentieth century. The brewery played a significant role in Liverpool's pub culture, supplying beers to tied houses across the city and wider Merseyside.
Beer clips such as this are a defining feature of British cask ale service, used to identify the beer being served from hand-pulled pumps on pub bars. Their continued presence reflects the enduring popularity of traditional real ale and the influence of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) in preserving British beer heritage.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating British pub culture, real ale traditions, historic breweries, Liverpool's brewing heritage, cask ale service, alcohol branding, and the cultural significance of traditional pubs in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR177C - A dramatic low-angle photograph of the Ship & Mitre public house on Dale Street in Liverpool city centre, England. The image emphasises the imposing stone façade of the historic pub, with its bold blue signage reading Ship & Mitre and decorative architectural details that reflect the building's early twentieth-century origins.
The Ship & Mitre, formally known as Stout's Ship & Mitre, is one of Liverpool's most famous traditional pubs and is particularly well known for its extensive range of cask ales, craft beers, and strong association with the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The pub occupies a prominent position on Dale Street, close to the city's commercial district and historic waterfront.
The strong vertical perspective and wide-angle composition lend a dramatic quality to the image, highlighting the scale and solidity of the building against the surrounding cityscape. The exterior appearance reflects Liverpool's rich architectural heritage, shaped by the city's mercantile history and role as a major port.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating British pub culture, real ale heritage, historic pubs, Liverpool architecture, urban streetscapes, tourism in Liverpool, and the enduring cultural importance of independent pubs in UK city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TC7N - Traditional illuminated Tennent's Lager sign at the Speedwell Bar, widely known as Mennies, on Perth Road in Dundee's West End, Scotland. The photograph shows the classic blue, white and red brewery branding against a black night sky, with the words Tennent's Lager and Speedwell Bar clearly visible on the rectangular exterior lightbox. This is a strong editorial image for stories about Scottish pubs, brewery heritage, Dundee nightlife, traditional bar culture, historic drinking places, hospitality branding and the visual identity of long-established licensed premises. The Speedwell Bar is one of Dundee's best-known pubs and has for generations been better known locally as Mennies, after the family long associated with the property. Located on Perth Road in the city's West End, close to the student and cultural quarter, it is recognised for its preserved interior, strong local following and enduring place in Dundee social history. The sign itself is commercially useful because it combines clear readable text, instantly recognisable beer branding, a sense of place and a night-time atmosphere in a simple, graphic composition. It suits editorial coverage of pub culture, real ale and lager traditions, urban Scotland, community meeting places, heritage hospitality, beer marketing, traditional streetscapes and regional travel. It also works well for features on Scottish brewing history, classic pub exteriors, independent bars, Dundee landmarks, West End culture and the continuing appeal of old-school pubs. The visible Tennent's branding adds relevance for editors and picture buyers looking for Scottish beer references, drinks logos, consumer culture, pub signage, street photography and documentary images of leisure life. With its uncluttered framing and contrast, the picture is also useful for tourism pages, local history features, hospitality trade writing and visual discussions of how beer brands remain embedded in the look and memory of Scottish public houses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDKYT4 - A Dundee-themed Tennent's beer pump font is pictured on the bar at The Pillars in Crichton Street, Dundee, with a colourful illustrated design showing local stock-photo/gotonysmith-Landmarks.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>landmarks and the city name wrapped around the tall illuminated tap. The image combines Scottish beer branding, pub interior detail, bar counter culture and local civic identity, making it useful for stories about Tennent's lager, Scottish pubs, Dundee nightlife, draught beer, pub design, branded fonts and the way national beer brands adapt their marketing to local places. The Pillars Bar and Salty Dog Lounge is listed by the Food Standards Agency at 9 Crichton Street, Dundee, DD1 3AP, and CAMRA describes The Pillars as dating back to 1864, believed to be the oldest pub in Dundee, with a loyal regular trade and a handpull for real ale. The image is commercially useful for coverage of Dundee hospitality, historic pubs, city-centre drinking, bar interiors, Scottish beer culture, cask ale, CAMRA pubs, local tourism, pub heritage and the survival of traditional bars in changing high streets. The nearby Schehallion Craft Lager pump, back bar bottles, fridges, warm lighting and polished brass handpulls add documentary value, showing a working pub environment rather than a staged product shot. The tall red Tennent's T-shaped font gives the scene strong visual impact and would suit features on beer marketing, lager sales, branded draught equipment, Scottish brewing, pub chains, independent pubs, local identity and the night-time economy. As a stock image, it records a small but distinctive piece of pub culture, where beer branding, local landmarks, regular customers, tourism and Dundee's long drinking history meet at the bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RW3WYD - The origins of the pub go back to 1723 when it opened as the Dock and Duck reflecting the more country pastimes of the area. However when the British Museum was built in the 1760s, the owners decided to change the name to the British Museum Tavern in 1762 and in 1858 after a refit it became the Museum Tavern
The refit was overseen by architect William Finch Hill who was best known for his designs for Music Halls, much of his design still remains.
It's position at the entrance to the British Museum means it has for centuries been a favourite port of call for the many visitors, academics and workers in the area.
When the British Library was inside of the British Museum it attracted the great minds and thinkers, a regular user was Karl Marx and it has been said that the Museum Tavern was his ˜local' whilst he was rewriting history.
Other famous visitors to the Tavern have included Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and J. B. Priestley.
There is no doubt even up to the present day a wide range of people have frequented the Museum Tavern which is part of its charm, it is a traditional London pub owned by Taylor Walker Brewery with real ales on tap and traditional food being served.

Dating back to 1856 and Grade II listed, The Bloomsbury Tavern is one of the most fascinating historic pubs near Holborn. It was once the ominous final watering hole en route to the hangman's noose at Marble Arch - but today, the pub provides a rather more welcoming prospect!
The pub is handily placed for visiting the British Museum, Covent Garden, and Theatreland, making it the perfect Holborn pub pitstop on any great day out.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCDJ39 - image shows the upper frontage of the former Bee Hive Inn, located at 44 High Street in Northwich town centre, Cheshire. The red-brick building retains prominent raised lettering reading Greenall Whitley & Co , identifying it as a former tied house of the well-known Cheshire and Lancashire brewery.
Greenall Whitley was founded in Warrington in the eighteenth century and became one of the North West's most significant regional brewers and pub owners. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the company operated hundreds of tied public houses across Cheshire, Lancashire, and North Wales. The Bee Hive Inn formed part of this estate and served generations of local residents as a traditional town-centre public house.
Architecturally, the building reflects late Victorian or Edwardian pub design, with a shaped gable, red brickwork, and strong street presence intended to signal permanence and respectability. Such design features were typical of brewery-owned pubs built or remodelled during this period.
The Bee Hive Inn has since closed as a licensed premises and the building has been repurposed for commercial use, reflecting wider patterns of pub closures and high-street change across the UK. Despite this, the surviving brewery signage and facade detailing preserve a visible link to Northwich's social and brewing history.
The photograph documents the layered history of a former public house, illustrating the transition from traditional pub culture to modern commercial reuse within a changing town-centre environment.

The sign reads Member of Northwich & District Licensed Victuallers Association, Established 1885, linking the premises to a long-running local network of licensed publicans and the formal trade structures that supported pubs as regulated businesses.
Licensed victualler is an older term for a pubkeeper or licensed seller of alcoholic drink, and associations such as this were part practical support network and part professional badge. In a world before modern pub chains.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBD - Right at the foot of Waterloo Street stands Michael Tracy's Bar, formerly known as The Electric Bar.
Dating back to 1874, it took its more Promethean title from the first electricity-operating generating station which was set across the street in the Diamond.
Later it became the property of Michael Tracy and his more prosaic letters replaced the dramatic Electric legend.
This pub has always been the favourite of Merchant Navy men and it is mentioned in the famous best-selling novel The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Montserrat, which was made into a very successful film starring Jack Hawkins, because during the Second World War, it was a popular haunt for seamen of all nationalities.
There are a number of interesting large framed photos of old Derry around the walls of the bar, and an unusual attraction in this friendly city is that the publican is a woman and an attractive one at that!

Guildford is an historic and tourist town, offering a large number of shopping outlets and the Three Pigeons sits right in the middle of it.
The Three Pigeons has stood here since the middle of the 18th century - a fire badly damaged it in 1916, fortunately it was rebuilt two years later. The design of the new frontage was inspired by a late 17th century house on Oxford's high Street and like many buildings on Guildford's ancient high street, it is reputed to be haunted.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX184N - The Lower Angel “ A Gem of a Warrington Pub
Step into The Lower Angel, and immediately you know you're in a ˜real' pub. This charming and unspoilt building on Buttermarket Street is as traditional as it gets. The curious name stems from the now-demolished Higher Angel that stood next door.
It's an often-heard complaint that real pubs are no longer. In a world where the big chains dominate, it's a joy to find a gem like this. It's got it all: a friendly bunch of regulars, excellent bar staff, and a fine selection of beers.
For a real ale drinker like myself, this is the ideal place to enjoy a few pints on a Friday afternoon. The layout is a welcome and familiar vault and lounge set-up, which hasn't changed in decades. A bar in the middle “ complete with bar stools, a rarity in the major chains “ is exactly as I imagine it would have been when built.
Comfortable and Welcoming
The clientele is regular, local people enjoying a chat and a pint, yet the atmosphere is friendly, and I feel welcome. This isn't always the case in pubs of this type, but The Lower Angel is somewhere I could happily return to regularly.
I took a seat at the bar and was immediately acknowledged by the man on the next stool and the attentive barman. Liverpool Brewing Company supplies most of the real ales on offer here, so I tried the ˜Cascade,' which proved to be a good choice. A pale ale of 3.8%, it's a perfect afternoon session ale.
Dogs are welcome in the bar, and there were a couple lying asleep under one of the tables, and there is a sheltered beer garden. Pleasing for me was the low level of background music. Too often, it's at a higher volume, and it's difficult to initiate a conversation.
The friendly local on my left broke the ice with the usual ˜not seen you in here before' comment. We chatted for a while, as you do in a genuine pub setting, and he told me about the history of the memorabilia that is part of the décor. You don't get that in your bigger, city centre chain pubs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MA7NFM - Most serious drinking pubs in Liverpool have a bit of heritage about them: they are fixtures as familiar as street lamps and go back decades. Somewhat surprisingly, this is not so with The Dispensary. It sprang up just a decade ago from the shell of an old man's boozer, The Grapes, on the corner of Rapid Hardware Street and Oldham Street in an area that is quietly renowned as a real booze and curry lovers' jackpot.
Pharmaceutical items, fixtures and fittings from old chemist shops, Liverpool University and the Liverpool Pharmaceutical Society abound in an effort to give it a traditional pub atmosphere and visually evoke a Victorian dispensary. It certainly did the trick for real-ale lovers CAMRA who voted it English Heritage pub refurbishment of the year 2000 and also Merseyside pub of the year.
Cains tenants Pauline Keady-Williams and husband Dave run The Dispensary, prescribing a cure-all for the world's ills in the shape of medicine on tap from the Upper Stanhope Street brewery, this week finding itself in dire financial straits with administrators being called in this week.
Why go there?
It serves arguably the best beer in town, if they do say so themselves, although Dominic Hornsby, from the nearby Fly In The Loaf, would doubtless disagree.
Who goes there?
The Dispensary's main allure seems to be for chaps, in there to either marvel at their chosen pint in solitude (I come here to hide from the wife, one un-pictured punter told us) or to philosophise in small huddles about the state of the world, occasionally all pausing to marvel at that pint again.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69C9K - Sitting sweetly on the bank of the River Medlock, just up the road from Oxford Road, the Lass O' Gowrie is an ancient and venerable Irish (but originally Scottish) pub and Manchester landmark, appearing on maps as early as 1844, back when it stood next to the Garratt Cotton Mill. Back then it was surrounded by hardcore slums which are now modern housing for a modern Manchester.
Complete with original tilework and fittings, the Lass sees a cheerful and diverse crowd on Fridays and Saturdays. It's very popular for post-work drinks or as a staging post on your way to Canal Street or the Northern Quarter.
One of the Lass O' Gowrie's unique features is its balcony-based smoking area, built out over the river below (and well-secured with high walls, so don't worry about stumbling). There's something very special about this particular slice of the city, with the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel off to the north, the opposite balcony of Joshua Brooks just to your east, and the pleasant sounds of the River Medlock filling the evening.
What's on the tap? Well, first and foremost the answer is Guinness, and that's what we recommend to be in keeping with the theme. But you should also check out the various craft beers on the list, like Tollgate Brewery's Belmorado pale ale. Guest beers circulate through the tap month by month, so there's always something new to try. The Lass O' Gowrie can also offer a selection of jolly bar snacks for all you pork scratching aficionados out there.
Listing NGR: SJ8431397523 - As it's surrounded by exciting developments like Circle Square, the Lass O' Gowrie caters to a diverse crowd of students, professionals, and tourists, so whoever you are, you're bound to find a warm welcome in the pub's surprisingly large interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG3PMF - Customers drink, dine and socialise during a busy evening inside the Marble Arch Inn at 73 Rochdale Road, Manchester, one of the city's best-known historic public houses. Warm artificial light from hanging chandeliers illuminates the long room, while deep red curtains frame the tall windows and groups of patrons occupy tables on both sides of the narrow interior. The scene conveys the lively, relaxed character of a traditional Manchester boozer, with real ale drinkers talking over pints in a convivial setting at dusk.
The elaborate interior is a defining feature of the Grade II listed building. Glazed brick walls, a richly decorated ceramic frieze and the distinctive barrel-vaulted tiled ceiling create an unusually ornate drinking space. Decorative brackets, patterned surfaces, framed pictures, timber fittings and upholstered seating add to the preserved Victorian character. The pub is also renowned for its sloping mosaic floor, which descends towards the bar and forms part of the building's celebrated historic fabric.
Constructed in 1888 to designs by Manchester architects Darbyshire and Smith, the premises originally served as a show-house associated with McKenna's Brewery. The building was formally listed in 1988 in recognition of its architectural and historic interest. Its surviving tiled scheme is regarded as an important example of late nineteenth-century public-house design and helps make the venue a destination for architectural enthusiasts, real ale drinkers and visitors exploring Manchester's pub heritage.
The Marble Arch later became closely associated with Marble Brewery, founded at the rear of the premises in 1997. Brewing subsequently moved to larger facilities in Salford, although the Rochdale Road pub remains the spiritual home and flagship venue for Marble beers. The photograph documents a busy evening within a much-loved independent establishment where preserved Victorian craftsmanship, craft brewing culture, food and everyday Mancunian social

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1RDF4 - Built in 1852 by William Kelsall a saddler of Old Glossop the first mention of a beerhouse is an advert in a Glossop Record local paper in June 1863 which stated that Decima Hall was selling up at the Spinners Arms, Milltown and leaving the country.
John Booth took up the offer and moved down from the Drover's Arms in 1864. In the 1871 Census he was also described as a grocer with the pub now called the Prince of Wales, having possibly changed in 1864 when John Booth moved in following the marriage of the Prince of Wales. In a Morris Commercial Directory for 1878 John was also a wholesale agent for George Robert Clayton a brewer of Salford. In 1880 he unsuccessfully applied for an alehouse licence but remained licensee until 1892. He had bought the pub from William Kelsall in 1877 and sold it to Openshaw Brewery in 1903 who took out a new 999year lease in 1921.
It remained a beerhouse until 1960 when a Full Licence was obtained, as with other Openshaw pubs it eventually became a Bass house. It was sold by Bass in 1982 to the Prince of Wales Partnership one of whose members Arthur Banks took out the licence followed a month later by David Hughes. It was bought by Marston Thompson & Evershed in 1984 who in 1986 gave it a complete refurbishment with the provision of dining room and function room upstairs for 40 people.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJGFND - Nellie Dean of Soho
The Nellie Dean is a public house at 89 Dean Street, on the corner of Carlisle Street. There has been a pub on this corner since at least 1748, when it was called the Highlander. (Some say there was a pub here before that, called the Dolphin, but this author has yet to see reliable evidence to support that claim.)
The pub was rebuilt in its present form in 1900, retaining the Highlander name. In the 1950s and 60s it was a favoured haunt of the bohemian crowd who also patronised the French House, as well as those working in the movie industry that used to be focused on Wardour Street.
In 1967 the pub became the Nellie Dean, a name inspired by the street on which it stands and honouring Gertrude Astbury, an early 20th-century music hall singer whose signature song was ˜Nellie Dean', later the title of a musical in which she starred.
There's an old mill by the stream, Nellie Dean
Where we used to sit and dream, Nellie Dean
And the waters as they flow,
Seem to murmur sweet and low
You are my heart's desire
I love you, Nellie Dean.
Billy Clarke & Harry Armstrong (1916)
Astbury came from Longport, now part of Stoke-on-Trent, and was nicknamed the Staffordshire Cinderella. She took the stage name Gertie Gitana on account of her supposed Gypsy origins and ˜Gitana' was adopted to mean ˜banana' in cockney rhyming slang. When Gertie's fame faded, the 60s pop singer Wayne Fontana briefly took her place in the cockney fruiterer's lexicon.

A very fine pub in central Liverpool which is one to compare with other excellent Heritage pubs on Merseyside - the Stork
in Birkenhead, the Prince Arthur
in Liverpool and the Edinburgh
in Crosby
Like them it is a Victorian building (in this case of c.1865) re-modelled about in the early 20th century. They all share corner sites with the public bar occupying the angle and surrounded by an L-shaped corridor. All too have beautiful tiled dados in their corridors dating from Edwardian re-modelling schemes (as seen in our picture). A further similarity is the way the corridor works to provide a drinking area.
Discovery of the documents submitted to the licensing justices enabled former licensee, John O'Dowd, to trace the evolution of the pub to its present form. Back in 1903 a plan shows the public bar laid out as it is now. There was a snug behind it in the heart of the building and left of this, and on the site of the present toilets, a public room labelled ˜parlour'. Then in 1915 the Lion expanded by taking in the building next door at 28 Tithebarn Street also a licensed premises. This enabled the L-shaped corridor to be created round the public bar and the formation of two rooms behind this - a news room in the newly acquired area (the name still survives in the window glass) and a lounge where the skylight is today. Then in 1967, when pubs everywhere were being opened up, plans were drawn up to remove the walls to the corridor from these rooms. These were duly implemented and the corner entrance was blocked. (hence the pub does not merit entry in the Part One of the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. In 1979 they added glazed partitions, one outside the gents and one on the right as you enter the news room.
The porch on Moorfields side has mosaic floor and one tiled wall from floor to ceiling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDJ48T - The Golden Cross is a Grade II listed public house at the junction of Customhouse Street and Hayes Bridge Road in the centre of Cardiff, Wales. The current building dates from 1903 and is noted for its distinctive ceramic tiling.
History
A pub has existed on the site since 1849, originally named the Shields and Newcastle Tavern. It was renamed the Castle Inn in 1855 and assumed its present name in 1863. The Cardiff historian Brian Lee has said the Golden Cross developed a reputation as the smartest brothel in town in the 19th century. Around 1903/4 it was rebult in its current form for Brains Brewery.
The Golden Cross is alleged to be the site of a fight involving a young Rocky Marciano, who was stationed in Wales during his time in the United States Army during World War 2. Also during the war, the fascist leader Oswald Mosley attempted to hold a meeting at the pub but violent opposition forced him to return to London.
The pub was given listed status by Cadw in May 1975, but despite this it was threatened with demolition in 1979 as part of a road-widening scheme. However it was reprieved after a campaign led by the South Wales Echo. In 2010 it was listed by CAMRA as one of their 10 most unspoilt pubs by the CAMRA Pub Heritage Group and is listed on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
The Golden Cross has become a popular gay friendly pub, with regular drag acts and entertainment. It was voted in 2004 as the best gay pub in the UK. The pub remains a tied house of the Brains Brewery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MN7P7E - Sitting on an island of land between Chepstow Street and Bridgewater Street this tile clad Victorian pub certainly stands out from its surroundings. The building dates back to the early 19th Century but the cladding was added in 1900. The name is said to commemorate a horse-drawn stagecoach that ran between Manchester and London. Ironically though, the pub, by the same name in Derbyshire, claims that its name came from a book of the same name by Sir. Walter Scott that references Peveril Castle near Castleton in Derbyshire.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNTC - This image shows a row of traditional cask ale hand pumps from Joseph Holt, one of Manchester's best-known historic breweries, displayed on a pub bar in Manchester city centre. The pump clips include well-established Holt beers such as Holt Mild, Holt Bitter, and Two Hoots, reflecting the brewery's long association with north-west England pub culture.
Founded in 1849, Joseph Holt Brewery remains an important part of Manchester's brewing heritage, with its beers commonly found in tied and free houses across the region. The wooden pump handles, branded badges, and polished bar setting evoke the classic British public house interior, closely associated with cask-conditioned real ale and CAMRA-style drinking traditions.
The image is suitable for editorial and commercial use illustrating British pubs, real ale culture, brewing heritage, hospitality interiors, and Manchester social life, and would work well in features on UK beer, traditional pubs, or regional identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02FA - Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, KG, GCB, GCH, PC, FRS (1 May 1769 “ 14 September 1852) was a Anglo-Irish statesman, soldier, and Tory politician who was one of the leading military and political figures of 19th-century Britain, serving twice as prime minister of the United Kingdom. He is among the commanders who won and ended the Napoleonic Wars when the Seventh Coalition defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Wellesley was born in Dublin into the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland as aide-de-camp to two successive lords lieutenant of Ireland. He was also elected as a member of Parliament in the Irish House of Commons. He was a colonel by 1796 and saw action in the Netherlands and in India, where he fought in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War at the Battle of Seringapatam. He was appointed governor of Seringapatam and Mysore in 1799 and, as a newly appointed major-general, won a decisive victory over the Maratha Confederacy at the Battle of Assaye in 1803.
Wellesley rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the French Empire at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom. During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian Army under Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Wellington's battle record is exemplary
he ultimately participated in some 60 battles during the course of his military career.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JTN - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84KA2 - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNT8 - This decorative building that is painted predominantly white with light blue detailing was built in 1898 in Queen Anne revival style. Around the year there is relief carving with a dragon(?) separting the 18 from 98. Beneath the year and the dragon is the motto spectemur agendo.
The house may have been built as a residence with the ground floor serving as a shop or business premises. Today, the building appears to be offices.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MCGAW9 - William Temple was born the son of the Leicestershire man Anthony Temple, whose family name was said to descend from the Knight Templars, a once powerful monastic order during the Crusades, but which was outlawed by Pope Clement V. The rituals and the secrets of the order survived and many of the Knight Templars families came to prominence in 16th-century England when Protestantism was embraced. He was educated at Eton College and passed with a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge, in 1573. In 1576 he was elected a fellow of King's, and graduated with a B.A. in 1577“8 and M.A. in philosophy in 1581. He became Master of Lincoln Grammar School that same year. Though originally destined for the law, he became a tutor in logic at his college. In his logic readings, wrote a pupil, Anthony Wotton, in his Runne from Rome (1624), he always laboured to fit his pupils for the true use of that art rather than for vain and idle speculations. He accepted with enthusiasm the logical methods and views of Petrus Ramus, and became the most active champion of the Ramists in England.
William Temple's first sight of Ireland came as he landed at Howth in April 1599 to take up his position as secretary to the new lord lieutenant, Robert Devereux, and 2nd Earl of Essex. It was a baptism of fire as their first great task was to suppress a major rebellion of the native Irish tribes who had now united with the Anglo-Normans. While Essex campaigned around the country, Temple stayed behind in Dublin that summer relaying news of military deployment and successes to the Royal Court, Essex, once Elizabeth's most trusted confidant and intimate advisor, now became the unappreciated and maligned viceroy falling foul of the ageing queen. Both he and William Temple were ignominiously recalled to London that same autumn.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MCGAX8 - The Temple Bar is a public house located at 46“48 Temple Bar in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, Ireland. Standing at the corner of Temple Lane South, the first pub on the site was reputedly licensed in the early 19th century.
The pub building at 48 Temple Bar is listed by Dublin City Council on its Record of Protected Structures, and is recorded in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as being built c.‰1840.
History
The Temple Bar area, in which the building stands, was so-named in the 17th century, owing to its association with Sir William Temple, father of Sir John Temple, who owned a house and gardens there.
Some sources associate the public house with James Harrison, a young publican who previously worked in his father's pub grocery business at 48 City Quay, and who reputedly obtained a licence for a new pub in the area in May 1819. According to related sources, Harrison sold his business to Cornelius O'Meara, a grocer, tea, wine and spirit merchant, in 1835. O'Meara, who also had another pub at 1 Wood Quay, remained in Temple Bar for around a decade
In 1951, the Fitzgerald family purchased the property. They stayed for ten years, with William Flannery arriving in 1961.
As of 2012, the owners were the Cleary family, who purchased the pub in 1992. At that point traditional features such as the Georgian style wyatt windows were reinstated and the pub changed to its current name. The business was expanded in the first part of the 21st century with the acquisition of adjacent properties, including The Temple Bar Trading Company shop, which opened at number 46. This section features a life-size bronze statue of James Joyce and a beer garden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RMJ3BA - A GRADE II LISTED VICTORIAN GEM
Dating back to 1868, our ornate Victorian pub boasts one of London's finest pub interiors. As you explore, look out for the original features, including mirrored walls and decorative ceilings.
During the Victorian era, the bar was divided up to keep the social classes apart. Today, the beautiful etched glass partitions are purely decorative, and everyone is welcome!
We're named after the second Duke of Argyll, who once owned the land we stand on today. He also had a mansion close by and, rumour has it, there was once a secret tunnel connecting the pub to the Duke's mansion. It gives a new meaning to sneaking out for a quick drink

Above the grand central entranceway is an interesting mock Tudor-style frontage which greets the visitor. Built in 1800 some fate must have befallen this mighty inn as it was rebuilt in 1875. At the turn of the century it served as a halt for horse-drawn buses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWF0 - The Bartons Arms is a public house in the High Street (part of the A34) in the Newtown area of Aston, Birmingham, England.
Built in 1900-1901 by noted pub architects partnership James and Lister Lea for Mitchells & Butlers, it is a grade II* listed building, and is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
The pub is known for its wall-to-wall Minton-Hollins tiles and its snob screens, which allowed middle class drinkers to see working class drinkers in an adjacent bar, but not to be seen by them.[1] The current public bar was originally divided into three. There are function rooms upstairs, originally for billiards and club use.
Laurel and Hardy once stayed there, after appearing at the adjacent Aston Hippodrome (now demolished, replaced by The Drum Arts Centre), and were photographed serving beer from behind the bar.
The pub features in the 1999 Atom Egoyan Birmingham-set film Felicia's Journey. It also features in the 2006 novel by Ron Dawson, The Last Viking: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Heist
as the gang of robbers meet in the pub.
It was purchased in 2002 by Oakham Ales who restored the building to its former greatness before reopening it in 2003, after three years out-of-use. On 28 July 2006, the pub was damaged by fire, reportedly caused by an electrical fault.
During the 2011 England riots, the pub was looted, windows were smashed, and fires started, albeit quickly doused by the manager, Wichai Thumjaron. Up to eight shots were fired at police who attended the incident.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYM3 - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYM6 - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4HNKF - History of The White Star
The history of the White Star has been traced back as far as 1880s. A programme from the Empire Theatre dated 1887 features an advertisement for the White Star Carvery and bar. The pub was almost the same as it is now, apart from where the telephone is, there used to be a dumb waiter. Where the gents is, was the back yard, and where the fruit machine now stands used to be the gents. Upstairs where the ladies toilets are, used to be the living accommodation.
There were no ladies toilets in the White Star until about 1987. There are a few pubs in city that did not allow ladies in on their own due to the amount of prostitutes that worked in the city from the end of the second world war until the early 90s. Just after the war a chap called Mr Quinn bought about 5 pubs in the city, he never changed the names, but on all the front windows he had etched Quinns, since then all the real ale drinkers in Liverpool and even the good beer guide have called it the White Star (Quinns 2).
The back room of the White Star was used by Bob Wooler and Alan Williams to pay all of their groups including the world famous Beatles. Where the Beatles wall is in the back room, is were they were paid. There are also a number of brass plaques on the front wall one to the Beatles, one twinned with the White Star Cz and two twinned with pubs in Norway. One with the Mets Sports Bar in Skien, and the Fat Lady in Grimstead.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBPC5 - This apparently ancient pub on Fountain Street is not as old as it looks, at least not all of it. The building was created in 1923 by W. Johnson and Sons and much of it is mock timber framing. However, some of the carvings and other ornamentations came from a building that was demolished in Chester and are probably 17th Century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy E6JB5B - There has been a pub called The Red Lion on this site ever since 1788. The one you see today was constructed in 1821 and, thanks to surviving the Blitz completely intact, has become one of London's rare examples of original ornate Victoriana at its finest.
Uniquely, the pub is full of specially commissioned glasswork, with much of it thought to have been created by the renowned Walter Gibb and Sons of Blackfriars, using some of the most advanced engraving and etching techniques available at the time. While nobody is sure why there are so many mirrors, one theory is that they were deliberately commissioned by a local magistrate at the time in order to reduce the privacy of the pub's snugs, and therefore smiting the activity of local women of the night.
Whatever the reason, it has led to The Red Lion being described as 'a perfect example of the small Victorian gin palace at its best' by Architectural Review, and it really is a window into life in the late 19th century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE73P - Inside The famous Anchor Tap
Situated on the south side of the Thames in the Tower Bridge Conservation Area, this historic Southwark pub offers a truly traditional English experience. From the fish and chip suppers served, to the string of clearly designated separate rooms, upright piano, games room and open fire this pub effortlessly captures old-fashioned England.
Within the dark, oak walls of this late 18th century, former dock-workers pub, one of the most quintessentially English inventions took seed. Dr Samuel Johnson compiled his English dictionary in a special room inside The Anchor Tap. Originally a place for brewery employees to sample the fruits of their labour, a Tap Room was traditionally set up near its parent brewery.
The Anchor Tap was the first such establishment set up by British brewing legends, John Courage, and was located in close proximity to the former Anchor Brewery and the old Hop Exchange on Borough High Street. The Anchor Tap is an unpretentious, wharfside treasure offering a simple taste of a bygone English age.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H366J6 - This documentary stock photograph shows Inside the Shipley Pride Pub, West Yorkshire, England, UK. The subject is rooted in Shipley, Yorkshire and is useful for editorial stories about Yorkshire pub culture, real ale, hand-pulled beer, traditional games and the social life of local pubs. The visible detail and caption make it more valuable than a generic bar or drink image, because it shows a real venue, real pub behaviour or a specific building connected with local social life. British pubs remain important as places to meet, eat, drink, watch sport, play traditional games and maintain informal community networks, while at the same time facing pressure from energy costs, staffing, changing drinking habits, business rates, rent, supermarket alcohol and the shift towards food-led trade. This image can support articles about real ale, hand pumps, cellar-to-bar service, drinkers, pub games such as dominoes, historic pub interiors, public house survival, tourism, hospitality employment, licensing, town-centre economies and the role of pubs in working-class and city life. It can also work for features on CAMRA, beer heritage, cask ale quality, independent pubs, after-work drinkers, railway-station pubs, local economies and nostalgia for sociable, unpretentious public houses. Search-friendly composite terms include traditional British pub culture, real ale handpull pint, Yorkshire pub games, London historic pub, pub hospitality industry, community local, cask beer service, licensed premises and UK evening economy. The documentary approach gives editors a credible image for news, magazine, web, tourism, food and drink, business, leisure, heritage and social commentary use. Where people or hands are visible, the photograph can also suggest the tactile, social side of pubs, including ordering, serving, chatting, playing and lingering rather than simply consuming a product.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2MAXX - This documentary stock photograph shows Dirty Dicks 18th Cent Pub, Liverpool Street/ Bishopsgate, London, UK. The image records Liverpool Street Station and its surrounding office district, making it useful for editorial features on rail commuters, office development, financial services, railway regeneration and the changing City fringe. The City of London and Liverpool Street area is a dense mix of railway infrastructure, Underground stations, offices, historic streets, pubs, retail units and constant pedestrian movement, so even a modest street or station view carries strong relevance for stories about commuting, working life, commercial property, transport investment and the post-pandemic future of the office. The caption and visible detail suggest readable signage, giving the photograph a practical, real-world quality that works for news, business and travel use. It can support articles about the Square Mile, banking, insurance, office rents, rail usage, Tube crowding, cycling, public art, tourism, station redevelopment, after-work hospitality and London as both a workplace and visitor destination. Search-friendly composite terms include City of London commuters, Liverpool Street railway station, Bank Underground station, Cornhill financial district, London office economy, Square Mile public realm, London 2012 Olympic legacy and central London transport hub. The photograph can also illustrate wider themes of regeneration, heritage, carbon-conscious travel, pedestrian movement, evening economy, retail footfall and how transport nodes shape urban property values. Its editorial strength lies in being specific enough for captions and broad enough for business, transport, finance, urban planning, tourism and local history stories. The image is also useful where editors need a recognisable London environment without relying on the most overused postcard views.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEGAM - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEGB2 - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Gunn is an oak-aged Scottish beer which is brewed and bottled under contract by Belhaven for Innis and Gunn. Belhaven which has a history going right back to 1719. In November 2005 it became a part of the Suffolk Bury St Edmunds based brewery Greene King. Outwardly Belhaven appears to have retained its brands and 'scottishness'.
The Innis &
Gunn Original beer is brewed in Dunbar, East Lothian before being matured in American white oak Bourbon barrels for 30 days and is then a further 47 days an a marrying tun. It is matured for upto 71 days in total. The various styles contain up to 6.6% alcohol by volume and are generally supplied in distinctive bottles. IPA (India Pale Ale matured 55 days), Triple Matured (darker at 99 days), Original (77 days) and Canadian Day Cask, packaged in an ambitious red box (like a malt whisky - 71 days).
They are all very good ales and very enjoyable. I had a couple and this is all that remains.

Manchesters second smallest boozer, with room for approximately twenty people including the feisty bar maid. The kind of venue where the music would stop when you walked in - that's if they had room for speakers - but within half an hour you'd be on first name terms with the regulars.
Not exactly a vast array of cocktails (This is more for the beer drinkers and G&T lovers) this is a bar that you hope will stay in Manchester for ever. In fact it's central location, on the busy Portland Street near Manchesters china town, makes it even more surprising that this hasn't been turned into apartments.

It is quite close to Oxfordshire's white horse at Ridgeway / Uffington Castle, An iron age hill fort covering over 30,000 sq metres, which was still in use in the Roman era. The nearby Wiltshire Three Castles Brewery make an excellent nutty 4.2% bitter called Uffington Castle and this was on at the Star and Mike is holding its pump here with his left hand.
Dawn and Mike have recently moved in and not yet seen spring or summer in the village. Theres a mixture of homecooked food and locals can pre-order and pop in with a plate to take it away if they want. Guest ales change every month from the local Hook Norton brewery and they had a well kept London Pride on there too. Note they have the Aspall traditional cider in stock too.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3813283684 - 'A traditional village scene from the village pub in Lea, Gloucestershire, UK near Ross-On-Wye. (not far from Mitcheldean, forest of Dean on the edge of Wales)
Pub games like this are the backbone of a night out and I cannot even remember if this pub had a fruit machine or a juke box music machine. This is a great little country pub doing great meals at good prices. Rabbit pie, pigeon and venison with veg, just watch out for teh lumps of leadshot!
Wikipedia describes dominos thus:
In the area of mathematical tilings and polyominoes, the word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from joining two congruent squares edge to edge. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.
The oldest domino sets have been dated from around 1120 A.D. Modern dominoes, as most of the Western world knows them, however, appear to be a Chinese invention. They were apparently derived from cubic dice, which had been introduced into China from India some time in the distant past. Each domino originally represented one of the 21 results of throwing two dice. One half of each domino is set with the pips from one die and the other half contains the pips from the second die. Chinese sets also introduce duplicates of some throws and divide the dominoes into two classes: military and civil. Chinese dominoes are also longer than typical European dominoes. Over time Chinese dominoes also evolved into the tile set used to play Mah Jong, a game which swept across the United States in the early to mid 1920s and has enjoyed moderate popularity, especially in its 'solitaire' form, since that time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M0F6K3 - The Pelican has been a pub in Notting Hill on All Saints Road since 1870, but was recently acquired by new owners and, following a full restoration and soft opening period, it has relaunched as a pub and dining room. Restaurateur James Gummer, along with co-owners Phil Winser and Richard Squire, and Head Chef Owen Kenworthy, have redesigned and refurbished the site to create what they describe as a place that becomes a cornerstone of the local community, not just somewhere to eat and drink .
Owen Kenworthy's background is impressively broad, ranging from The Wolseley and Sketch to Primeur and Brawn, where he was Head Chef alongside Ed Wilson when it opened in 2010. His cooking style is rustic, modern executions of classic British and European cuisine.
The focus is on the finest British produce, with sustainability also a fundamental priority, and engaging suppliers who use regenerative farming methods, where possible. Typical dishes on the dining room menu include: Raw beef with Gentleman's Relish, Ham hock with egg mayo, Potted shrimp, Onglet and shallot, and Lobster and monkfish pie with lobster head gravy. Various cuts of beef are butchered on-site, and a ˜5th Quarter Pie' makes use of the offal. Desserts include Lemon posset with shortbread
and Ginger Parkin and custard, made with Owen's family recipe. The pub offering is more casual with options such as Mince on toast
Welsh rarebit
Sausage roll
and Spider crab toast.
A wide selection of British beers includes Allsopp's IPA, Portobello Pilsner, and Deya. In addition to classic cocktails and a concise 40-bin wine list (glasses from £5/bottles from £25), a constantly evolving single bottle wine list is available.

The pub was actually a part of Cambridge (Ely being in Cambridge) and the licencees used to have to go there for their licence. Set in a part of London steeped in history, it's near where William Wallace was hung, drawn and quartered at Smithfield, along with martyrs and traitors who were also killed nearby.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy E6JB5A - The City Arms stands illuminated during the early evening on Kennedy Street in Manchester city centre, with two customers drinking beside a barrel table outside the traditional public house. Bright lamps light the green and gold fascia above the dark-painted frontage, while warm interior light is visible through the multi-paned windows. Hanging flower baskets, polished entrance doors, pint glasses and the compact pavement setting contribute to the appearance of a well-used local pub as daylight fades.
Located at 46-48 Kennedy Street, close to Albert Square, Manchester Town Hall and the city's historic municipal quarter, The City Arms is widely known for its emphasis on well-kept cask beer. Its comparatively modest frontage and narrow interior contrast with the larger civic and commercial buildings surrounding it. The pub has retained the intimate atmosphere of a traditional city-centre boozer rather than adopting the appearance of a modern chain bar or large entertainment venue.
The premises contain a compact two-room layout with surviving historic features and are included by CAMRA among pubs with interiors of recognised heritage interest. The bar is particularly associated with a frequently changing selection of hand-pulled real ales, alongside cider, whisky and gin. It has appeared regularly in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and remains a popular destination for local drinkers, visiting beer enthusiasts and people seeking a traditional Manchester pub experience.
Central Manchester CAMRA named The City Arms its Pub of the Year for both 2024 and 2025, reflecting the venue's continuing reputation for cask ale quality and traditional hospitality. Its location near Manchester's civic heart has also made it a long-standing meeting place for office workers, councillors, visitors and city-centre regulars.

Snow adds a seasonal layer, making the scene useful for winter weather, historic urban quarters, independent pubs, jewellery trade heritage, West Midlands tourism and the texture of working districts after hours. Snow gives the scene a distinctly winter character, adding weather value as well as place value. The location detail, Birmingham, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. It can work both as a straightforward location record and as a wider editorial illustration of the habits, services, buildings, symbols and small commercial details that shape everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEGAK - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

The image is useful for illustrating British and Irish pub culture, real ale, traditional bars, hospitality, visitor economy stories and the continued importance of pubs as social places.

The supplied location evidence places the subject at or near Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, EH1 2JR, which adds value for buyers searching by town, city, region or postcode. Weather and season may be visible outside or through the setting
the subject has clear hospitality and leisure value. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
