Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCK2R - A low-angle view of the City Road Inn, a traditional Manchester public house, photographed against the backdrop of the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, housed within the Beetham Tower, one of the city's most prominent modern skyscrapers. The juxtaposition emphasises the dramatic contrast between older red-brick pub architecture and the sleek glass and steel of twenty-first-century urban development.
The image was taken in daylight under clear blue skies, suggesting fair weather conditions typical of spring or summer in Manchester. Bright natural light enhances the visual separation between the warm tones and textures of the historic pub frontage and the cool, reflective surfaces of the modern tower behind.
This scene encapsulates Manchester's rapid transformation over recent decades, where long-established neighbourhood pubs coexist alongside large-scale regeneration, luxury hotels and high-rise residential and commercial buildings. The photograph is well suited for editorial use illustrating urban change, regeneration, architectural contrast, hospitality heritage, and the evolving identity of post-industrial British cities.

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 2T3EFTC - Greenall's Brewery was founded by Thomas Greenall in 1762. Initially based in St Helens, the company established a second brewery at Wilderspool, south of Warrington in 1787.
It bought the Groves & Whitnall Brewery in Salford in 1961, Shipstone's Brewery in Nottingham in 1978[4] and Davenport's Brewery in Birmingham in 1986. For much of the 20th century, the company traded as Greenall Whitley & Co Limited. The St Helens brewery was demolished in the 1970s to make way for a new shopping centre. The Warrington brewery on the edge of Stockton Heath was bought by Bruntwood, renamed Wilderspool Business Park and is now let to office occupiers.
The company ceased brewing in 1991 to concentrate on running pubs and hotels.
In 1999, the tenanted wing of the Greenall's operation was sold to the Japanese bank, Nomura for £370 million and the main Greenall's operation, involving 770 pubs and 69 budget lodges, was sold to Scottish and Newcastle for £1.1billion. Greenalls started to focus its resources on its De Vere and Village Leisure hotel branding at that time.
In February 2005, Greenalls sold The Belfry to The Quinn Group for £186 million.
The Greenall family connection remained as Lord Daresbury, the descendant of the original founder, remained the non-executive chairman. This tie was severed in 2006 when Daresbury stepped down from the post and much of the family's interest was sold

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T19PFD - Ask for Angela
The Met and the Mayor of London have joined together with Safer Sounds, part of the Safer Business Network, and licensed venues across the capital to help keep people safe while enjoying a night out.
The safety initiative Ask for Angela' is being rolled out to bars, clubs and other licensed businesses across London and other cities. People who feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened can discreetly seek help by approaching venue staff and asking them for Angela'. This code-phrase will indicate to staff that they require help with their situation and a trained member of staff will then look to support and assist them. This might be through reuniting them with a friend, seeing them to a taxi, or by calling venue security and/or the police.
Venues that support Ask for Angela' have been given Welfare And Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) training. Delivered by the Met's licensing officers and Safer Sounds, it gives staff the ability to help customers who may be in a situation that makes them vulnerable or unsafe.
Ask for Angela' was originally developed by Lincolnshire County Council and adopted by the Met in 2016 as a localised initiative by its police licensing officers. The introduction of WAVE training in 2017 underpinned the delivery of Ask for Angela and more venues began to take on the initiative.
Organisations can receive WAVE training through the Safer Sounds Partnership or via their local licensing team. The training explores what vulnerability is, how to identify it and appropriate interventions. A range of online assets and webinars are available.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXX28F - Gabrielles Wish - also spelled Gabrielle's Wish - is a Post-Punk/Alternative Rock band from Manchester, Northwest, UK that formed in the mid '90s. They were signed to Rob's Records by Rob Gretton, releasing a self-titled E.P. and the Golded Up E.P. The band recorded Processed, which was to be the band's debut album until Rob Gretton's untimely passing. They then released Manchester Suite, a 12 of 3 tracks culled from a full album's worth of material (which would later be released as Propaganda). Between 2002 and 2006 via their own D.I.Y. labels Path and Small Adjustments they released Cost One E.P. (2002), Portal (first full album) in 2003, Here From The Neck Down E.P. in 2005 and Reformer, the band's second album. They signed with Eromeda Records, who have been releasing the band's music since 2006 apart from Processed, the album Gabrielle's Wish had recorded in 1997 and which was to be their debut album. Instead, it was released on CD in Germany by label Plastic Frog Records. The band are still active.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RWDK09 - The Dominic Cummings scandal, or the Dominic Cummings affair, was a series of events involving the British political strategist Dominic Cummings during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. The events include at least one journey that Cummings, then-chief adviser of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and his family made from London to County Durham after the start of a national lockdown in March 2020 while they were experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
Reports of the trip first emerged in May 2020 following investigations by the Daily Mirror and The Guardian. Questions arose about whether the conduct of Cummings and his wife was lawful and appropriate within the framework of government advice and guidance, given that the public were ordered to stay at home, that all non-essential travel was forbidden during the lockdown, and that infected persons had been instructed to self-isolate.
Cummings denied he had broken any rules in a press conference a few days later. Durham Constabulary investigated the trip, concluding there may have been a minor breach, but did not take any further action. The scandal led to criticism from Members of Parliament (MPs) within and outside the ruling Conservative Party, backlash in the media and from the public, and calls for Cummings to be sacked or resign. Prominent politicians in the government, including Johnson, rejected these and expressed support for Cummings. Polling suggested that support for the Conservative Party and confidence in the British government's pandemic response fell as a result of the scandal.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RW3WYG - An historic pub in Holborn
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 2RWMENN - The Seven Stars is a Grade II listed public house at 53-54 Carey Street, Holborn, London. It is unusual for having survived the Great Fire of London.
It probably originated in the 17th century, and it is dated 1602, and was formerly known as The Log and Seven Stars.
Whilst the frontage may bear the date 1602, the building itself is likely to date from the 1680s.
The interior served as a filming location for a scene in the movie All the Old Knives

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJAFAR - Eleanor Rigby is a statue in Stanley Street, Liverpool, England, designed and made by the entertainer Tommy Steele. It is based on the subject of the Beatles' 1966 song Eleanor Rigby, which is credited to the LennonMcCartney partnership
The statue consists of a bronze figure on a stone bench. The figure is 128 cm high, 120 cm wide, and 96 cm deep. It depicts a seated woman with a handbag on her lap, a shopping bag on her right, and a copy of the Liverpool Echo on her left. Poking from the shopping bag is a milk bottle, and on the newspaper is a sparrow and a piece of bread. The woman is looking down at the sparrow.
Steele included what he described as magical properties in his design, all hidden inside the bronze figure and representing a different facet of life. These were: a four-leaf clover (for good luck), a page from the Bible (for spiritual guidance), football boots (representing sport and fun), a comic book (for comedy and adventure), and a sonnet (for love)
On the wall behind the figure is an inscribed plaque which originally read:
ELEANOR RIGBY
DEDICATED TO
ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE ...
This statue was sculpted and donated to the City of Liverpool
by Tommy Steele as a tribute to the Beatles.
The casting was sponsored by the Liverpool Echo.
DECEMBER 1982

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJCCAG - At the end of the decade, The Sun's coverage of the Hillsborough football stadium disaster, in which 97 people died as a result of their injuries, proved to be, as the paper later admitted, the most terrible blunder in its history.
Three days after the accident, editor Kelvin MacKenzie published an editorial which accused people of scapegoating the police, saying that the disaster occurred because thousands of fans, many without tickets tried to get into the ground just before kick-off either by forcing their way in or by blackmailing the police into opening the gates. The next day, under a front-page headline The Truth, the paper falsely accused Liverpool fans of theft and of urinating on and attacking police officers and emergency services. Conservative Member of Parliament Irvine Patnick was quoted as claiming that a group of Liverpool supporters told a police officer that they would have sex with a dead female victim
Widespread boycotts of the newspaper throughout Merseyside followed immediately and continue to this day. Boycotts include both customers refusing to purchase it, and retailers refusing to stock it. The Financial Times reported in 2019 that Merseyside sales were estimated to drop from 55,000 per day to 12,000 per day, an 80% decrease. Chris Horrie estimated in 2014 that the tabloid's owners had lost £15 million per month since the disaster, in 1989 prices. Sales also declined to a lesser degree in neighbouring parts of Cheshire and Lancashire. It was revealed in a documentary called Alexei Sayle's Liverpool, aired in September 2008, that many Liverpudlians will not even take the newspaper for free, and those who do may simply burn or tear it up. Local people often refer to the newspaper as The Scum, with campaigners believing it limited their fight for justice

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3CR - This image shows an ornate stained glass panel depicting the Welsh red dragon, known in Welsh as Y Ddraig Goch, a powerful national symbol of Wales. The dragon is rendered in vivid shades of red and orange with raised wings and an alert stance, set against a background of green and yellow glass, colours traditionally associated with Welsh identity. The stained glass is housed within a stone arched frame, suggesting the interior of a historic or traditionally styled bar or pub in Cardiff.
The craftsmanship highlights fine leadwork and textured glass, typical of decorative stained glass used in heritage hospitality interiors across Wales. The dragon's posture, claws raised and tail curled, echoes medieval and Celtic imagery long associated with Welsh folklore, resistance, and national pride.
The surrounding stonework and subdued interior lighting imply a historic building or one designed to evoke heritage character. The glass appears to be illuminated from behind, either by daylight or internal lighting, enhancing the saturated colours and giving the dragon a dramatic, almost heraldic presence.
Such imagery is commonly found in Cardiff city-centre pubs and bars that celebrate local culture and history, blending traditional Welsh symbolism with modern hospitality use. The image reflects the enduring visibility of national identity in everyday urban spaces and the continued role of pubs and bars as cultural as well as social landmarks in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YAE - A rather artificial attempt at the recreation of a lively coffee house scene was made by the temperance movement in the 1880's. Modelled after the spacious, light, mahogany-trimmed taverns being promoted by the beer industry, the late Victorian coffee house was a conscious attempt by naive social workers to lure the working men from their pubs and the perils of demon drink. Coffee taverns, one pamphlet stated, must show there are beverages as comforting as beer, that there are beverages to be bought as cheap as beer. And they must provide advantages not provided by such a formidable enemy and by this manoeuvre make victory certain. Accordingly, working-men were encouraged to bring their own food to be cooked free of charge in the tavern's kitchen. Newspapers and games were laid out - also gratis - and customers were encouraged to remain as long as they wanted. Needless to say, none of these coffee taverns survived long on their own.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP38P - The White Bear public house, located on Canute Place in Knutsford, Cheshire, is shown here in daylight with its distinctive black-and-white half-timbered facade and thatched roof. The building is a long-established local landmark in this historic Cheshire market town, reflecting traditional English inn architecture and pub culture.
Flower baskets and planted borders add seasonal colour to the frontage, reinforcing the pub's role as a welcoming focal point within the town centre. Knutsford is well known for its historic streetscape, independent businesses, and proximity to rural Cheshire countryside, and the White Bear remains a recognisable symbol of British hospitality and heritage pub design.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC3CDT - Many geographical features in Ireland are attributed to Fionn. Legend has it he built the Giant's Causeway as stepping-stones to Scotland, so as not to get his feet wet
he also once scooped up part of Ireland to fling it at a rival, but it missed and landed in the Irish Sea the clump became the Isle of Man, the pebble became Rockall, and the void became Lough Neagh. In Ayrshire, Scotland a common myth is that Ailsa Craig, a small islet just off coast of the said county, is another rock thrown at the fleeing Benandonner. The islet is sometimes referred to as paddys' mile stone in Ayrshire. Fingal's Cave in Scotland is also named after him, and shares the feature of hexagonal basalt columns with the nearby Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland
Bushmills (From Irish Muileann na Buaise) is a village on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Bushmills had a population of 1,295 in the 2011 Census.[3] It is located 60 miles (97 km) from Belfast, 11 miles (18 km) from Ballycastle and 9 miles (14 km) from Coleraine. The village owes its name to the River Bush and to a large watermill that was built there in the early 17th century. It is home to the Old Bushmills Distillery, which produces Irish whiskey, and is near the Giant's Causeway.
Bushmills is classified as a village (population 1,0002,499) by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). On Census day (27 March 2011) there were 1,295 people living in Bushmills. Of these:

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW81 - Bar billiards is a form of billiards which involves scoring points by potting balls in holes on the playing surface of the table rather than in pockets. Bar billiards developed from the French/Belgian game billard russe, of Russian origin. The current form started in the UK in the 1930s and now has leagues in Norfolk, Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. These counties comprise the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey where the annual world championships take place.
The game of bar billiards developed originally from the French billiard, which due to the expensive tables in the fifteenth century was played only by the French monarchy and the very rich. The game was transformed into Billiard Russe during the 16th century for the Russian Tsars and a derivative of Bagatelle played by French royalty.
Bar billiards was first imported into the UK during the early 1930s when David Gill, an Englishman witnessed a game of billiard russe (Russian billiards) taking place in Belgium. He persuaded the Jelkes company of Holloway Road in London to make a similar table. Tables were also made by Sams, Riley, Burroughs & Watts and Clare. It is now a traditional bar game played in leagues in the English counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Kent, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex and Yorkshire, and also the Channel Islands. The game's governing body is the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey. The standard league tables have a playing surface approximately 32 inches (81 cm) wide. Sams also made a narrower version with a 28-inch (71 cm) width playing surface

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R64T7M - This photograph shows the exterior of Ye Olde John O'Gaunt, a long-established public house located at 53 Market Street in Lancaster city centre. The pub's traditional frontage features painted timberwork, decorative stained glass windows, and prominent gold lettering, marking it out as a character building within the historic streetscape of Lancaster.
The pub is named after John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and one of the most powerful figures in fourteenth-century England. As the fourth son of King Edward III, John of Gaunt gave his name to the Duchy of Lancaster, which remains closely associated with the city. Pubs bearing his name are found across England, reflecting his enduring place in national and regional history.
Ye Olde John O'Gaunt has served generations of locals and visitors and forms part of Lancaster's rich pub heritage, linked to the city's role as a historic county town, port, and centre of trade. Market Street itself lies close to other significant civic and commercial buildings, reinforcing the pub's role as a social hub within the urban fabric.
The image captures everyday life outside the pub, with people gathered at the entrance and window, illustrating the continued social function of traditional British pubs in town centres. Photographed in daylight, the scene is well suited for editorial use covering British pub culture, historic inns, Lancaster heritage, and the lived character of English market towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AJ08 - Eberle Street has long been established as the heart of the LGBT Community here in Liverpool, comprising of multiple night clubs, bars and the once world famous Garlands nightclub. As it stood, the street infrastructure was unloved with poor paving, lighting and cellar doors making for an environment that didn't appeal to pedestrians during the day, and created obstacles for the high footfall after dark.
BCA Landscape created a unique identity to the once undesirable street, through the use of a bespoke contemporary paving and matching lights, with subtle hints to Judy Garland's Yellow Brick Road' dotted along the route. The use of a strong geometric pattern draws people up the street and along the way can be found bespoke paving units which have key characters and elements of the Wizard of Oz', from the iconic red shoes to Toto and even the famous Emerald City.
'Eberle Street is a hub of Liverpool's night time economy and LGBT community so its redesign required an imaginative approach that had the verve and style to celebrate its unique position and elevate it to a prominence it richly deserves. Once complete it will also greatly enhance the experience of the Commercial District and promote the north-south walking routes between the district and the rest of the city centre. As the nation recently saw with Granby Street's Turner Prize winning transformation, meaningful regeneration has to be led by those who live and work in that area and the input from the business community has been a key part of the entire process.'' Jim Gill, Chairman of the Commercial District BID,
which represents more than 850 businesses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AJ21 - Hooters is the registered trademark used by two American restaurant chains: Hooters, Inc., based in Clearwater, Florida, and Hooters of America, Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia, and owned by the private investment firm Nord Bay Capital (with TriArtisan Capital Advisor, as its advisor). The Hooters name is a double entendre referring to both a North American slang term for women's breasts and the logo (a bird known for its hooting calls: the owl).
The waiting staff at Hooters restaurants are primarily young women, usually referred to simply as Hooters Girls, whose revealing outfits and sex appeal are played up and are a primary component of the company's image. The company employs men and women as cooks, hosts (at some franchises), busboys, and managers. The menu includes hamburgers and other sandwiches, steaks, seafood entrees, appetizers, and the restaurant's specialty, chicken wings. Almost all Hooters restaurants hold alcoholic beverage licenses to sell beer and wine, and where local permits allow, a full liquor bar. Hooters T-shirts, sweatshirts, and various souvenirs and curios are also sold.
As of 2016, there were more than 430 Hooters locations and franchises around the world and Hooters of America LLC. owns 160 units. In 2012, there were Hooters locations in 44 US states, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, and 28 other countries. Hooters also had an airline, Hooters Air, with a normal flight crew and flight attendants and scantily clad Hooters Girls on every flight.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23C2 - The interior of The Flask, a historic public house on Flask Walk in Hampstead, north London. The image shows the traditional bar area with dark wood panelling, shelves of wine and spirits, chalkboard menus listing beers and bar snacks, and warm pendant lighting suspended over the counter.
The Flask dates back to the early 18th century and is known for retaining much of its historic character, including period-style fittings and a layout typical of long-established London pubs. The interior reflects a balance between everyday functionality and heritage, with practical bar design sitting alongside decorative details that evoke the pub's long social history.
Photographed in natural indoor light during normal service, the image documents everyday pub life in Hampstead, illustrating themes of British pub culture, hospitality, and the continued use of historic interiors as living social spaces rather than preserved museum pieces. It is well suited for editorial use relating to London lifestyle, heritage pubs, food and drink culture, and urban social history. The Flask in Hampstead is owned by Fuller, Smith & Turner (Fuller's), one of London's best-known historic brewing companies. The pub has origins dating back to the early 18th century, when it began life as a small alehouse serving travellers on the road north out of London, taking its name from the stone flasks once used to carry spa water from nearby Hampstead wells. Over time it evolved into a substantial village public house and became embedded in Hampstead's social and literary life, frequented by writers, artists and local residents drawn to its discreet location and informal atmosphere. Despite rebuilding and refurbishment over the centuries, The Flask has retained its character as a neighbourhood pub rather than a showpiece venue, a continuity reinforced under Fuller's stewardship, which has generally favoured traditional pub identities, cask ale, and long-term community use over aggressive rebranding.

A freshly poured pint of golden ale sits on the polished wooden bar, with the distinctive pump clips arranged behind it, representing a mix of independent and historic London breweries.
The scene captures the traditional presentation of cask-conditioned beer in an English pub, with hand-pulled pumps, branded clips, and a well-stocked back bar visible in the background. These beers reflect the diversity of London's brewing scene, combining long-established names such as Young's with newer independent breweries that have contributed to the city's modern craft-beer revival.
Photographed indoors under warm ambient lighting, the image documents everyday pub culture in England, illustrating themes of social life, hospitality, and British brewing heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PK2AXB - St Elphin's Church is the parish church of the town of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the deanery of Warrington.
A place of worship has been present on the site since about 650 AD, and the presence of a priest in Warrington was recorded in the Domesday Book. According to tradition the first church was built by Saint Oswald for his companion Elphin, who remained as the first priest there until his death in 679. The earliest fabric in the present church is in the chancel and the crypt, which survive from the church built in 1354 by Sir William Boteler. The church was badly damaged by the Parliamentary forces in the Civil War. Following this the tower was rebuilt in 1696 and the nave in 1770. The south aisle was added in the early 19th century. Most of the fabric of the present church is the result of an extensive restoration between 1859 and 1867 by Frederick and Horace Francis. It was during this restoration that the spire was added. The bells were recast in 1698 and again in 1884. In 1950 they were recast again and the clock was replaced
Within the church, St Ann's Chapel was founded by Thomas Massey, rector of Warrington from 1448 to 1464.
It continued to belong to the Massey family until they died out in 1748. The chapel was then acquired by the Patten family who built a vault to bury members of the family, the last being Lord Winmarleigh in 1892. The Lady Chapel was founded and endowed by Sir John Boteler in 1290. He and other family members were buried in the chapel. In 1943 it became the chapel of the South Lancashire Regiment and in 1976 the chapel of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment.

Probably 17th-century - suggested by the date 1685 in a gable - this much restored inn is worth a visit to see two small rooms of real character. Behind the servery an old latch door leads into a small snug with two good baffles/screens by the entrance with colourful pictorial stained and leaded panels at the top, early 20th-century fixed seating and bell pushes around most of the room but, sadly, a modern brick fireplace. Down a short passageway on the rear right a sliding door leads into the small Trophy Room with Victorian fixed seating with carved arms / bench ends and bell pushes all around the room but, again, another modern brick fireplace. The front of the pub is three rooms opened up and modernised but the bar counter may be old with a modern frontage of carved panels added and an area on the front right does retain old fixed seating and bell pushes. Active bowling green at rear owned by the pub and a modern function room is used by a folk club (Sunday evenings).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60XE - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MGPDP7 - Blacklers was a large department store on the corner of Elliot Street and Great Charlotte Street in Liverpool, England. The store was famous for its lavish Christmas grotto and its rocking horse, Blackie, which is now on display in the Museum of Liverpool. The store, which at its peak employed a thousand people, also has connections to The Beatles: George Harrison worked as an apprentice electrician at Blacklers in 1959, and Pete Best's mother Mona bought his drum kit from the Blacklers music department.
Blacklers was founded by partners Richard John Blackler and A.B. Wallis in the early twentieth century. Blackler died in 1919 and was succeeded as a partner in the business by his wife Margaret.
Despite the building being severely damaged in The Blitz of May 1941 during World War II, the business survived. Temporary outlets were created in Bold Street and Church Street and the first part of the new store opened on 29 March 1953.
Margaret Blackler died in 1957 without children, at which point the store became the property of several individuals, of which the major shareholder was the sportswoman Vera Kingston (Margaret's god-daughter). In 1983 following Vera's death the store was sold on once again, and all links to the original owners disappeared. The store remained open only a few years more, closing in April 1988.
The site now includes a Wetherspoons chain pub, named Richard John Blackler in honour of the store's founder.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WYK - This image shows a close-up detail of a stained glass pub window bearing the words Smoke Room, formed in leaded lettering against amber-coloured glass. Such signage was common in traditional English pubs, where drinking spaces were historically divided into areas such as public bars, saloons, tap rooms, and smoke rooms.
The smoke room was typically a more comfortable or enclosed area where patrons could smoke pipes or cigarettes, reflecting social customs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although smoking is now prohibited in enclosed public spaces in the UK, the architectural features associated with these rooms remain an important part of pub heritage.
Decorative stained and leaded glass windows are characteristic of historic British pub interiors, combining function, privacy, and visual identity. In cities like York, many pubs retain these features as part of their listed or conservation-area status.
Photographed to emphasise texture, lettering, and glasswork, the image is well suited for editorial use covering British pub culture, social history, heritage architecture, interior design, and traditional signage.

The river forms a central feature of York's historic landscape and has shaped the city's development for centuries.
The riverside buildings visible along the bank reflect York's long architectural history, with a mix of historic inns, houses, and commercial premises now serving as cafes, pubs, and restaurants. During the summer months, this stretch of the river becomes a focal point for social activity, tourism, and leisure.
The River Ouse flows through the heart of York and remains both an asset and a challenge for the city, celebrated for its scenic value while also associated with seasonal flooding. Images such as this capture the positive, everyday relationship between the city and its river during periods of good weather.
Photographed in bright daylight with clear skies, the image is well suited for editorial use illustrating UK tourism, historic cities, riverside leisure, British summer lifestyle, and urban waterfront regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X4P - This image shows The Kings Arms, a well-known traditional public house located beside the River Ouse in the historic centre of York. The pub is a familiar landmark on King's Staith and is popular with both residents and visitors, particularly during warm summer weather when outdoor seating is in use.
The Kings Arms occupies a characterful historic building and is closely associated with riverside life in York. Its proximity to the river means it is also known for periodic flooding, an issue that has become part of its local identity and media profile over the years.
In this scene, people are gathered outside the pub enjoying drinks and conversation under clear blue skies, reflecting the social role of English pubs as informal community meeting places. The visible pub sign reinforces its identity as a long-established and recognisable venue within the city.
With York's historic riverside architecture and pedestrian activity in the background, the image captures everyday leisure and tourism in one of England's most visited historic cities. It is well suited for editorial use covering British pub culture, urban leisure, tourism, riverside life, and summer social scenes in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X6W - This image shows the exterior of the Stone Roses Bar, a well-known music-themed bar located on King Street in York. The venue is named after the influential British band The Stone Roses and reflects the continuing cultural legacy of late-1980s and early-1990s indie and Madchester music.
The red brick façade is decorated with distinctive signage, posters, and window graphics referencing British alternative music culture. The building's historic urban fabric contrasts with the modern graphic artwork and band imagery, linking York's traditional streetscape with contemporary nightlife and popular music heritage.
Bars such as this play an important role in city-centre evening economies, attracting locals, students, and visitors interested in alternative music scenes and themed venues. The Stone Roses Bar is particularly associated with indie, Britpop, and guitar-based music, often hosting DJs and events that celebrate British rock history.
Photographed in daylight, the image documents the venue as part of York's wider cultural and nightlife landscape. It is well suited to editorial use covering British music culture, urban leisure, themed bars, tourism, and the influence of iconic bands on local identity and commercial spaces.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K5J0DY - An elegant town-centre pub, built in 1886 on the site of its predecessor, the Noah's Ark
the notable faience frontage dates from a remodelling of 1900 by local architect Fred T. Beck. On the wall of the smoke room are the plans showing the changes made in 1983 (Architects: David Horne Associates) when Allied Breweries converted the pub into one of the earliest of their Holt, Plant & Deakin' pubs these did include making an archway through the rear wall to give access to the smoke room and creating a third room at the rear.
It has an excellent ceramic exterior including the wording 'The Posada' on three tiled panels one on the fascia and two in vertical lettering on pilasters in each of the external recessed porches which have mosaic floors. Below the small-paned bowed window is a dado of golden yellow glazed brick and tiles. Both porches have a glazed brick and tiled dado in golden yellow with cream glazed brick above up to ceiling height with a dark yellow tiled frieze at the top and mosaic floors. Of the five main lower front windows the central three are now plain, which is not likely to have been the case when the pub was built. The leaded window in the right hand door is a modern replacement.
The public bar is a very special room with its tiled walls in orange-brown on the dado and cream above, original bar fittings including rare snob screens and is little altered since 1900. The left hand door leads into a vestibule that looks modern as does the panelling so it has been added later, possibly in 1983. The bar counter looks like the original 1900 one with panelled frontage the only changes being a 1960s/70s slanting piece of timber piece on the left for the present hatch
also, there is a cut right at the front right-hand end where the quadrant becomes straight, facing to the window which is where the hatch was originally.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD25X3 - The White Horse & Griffin Hotel and Restaurant is one of the most iconic and charismatic properties on the old East side of Whitby. Built in 1681 by Sir Hugh Cholmley, the White Horse & Griffin was the first Coaching Inn from Whitby to York and London. It was operated as an Inn until 1939.
It was also used as a meeting place for explorers Captain James Cook and William Scoresby who hired and fixed their crews from the building. The White Horse & Griffin closed in 1939 on the day of the Battle of the River Plate (the first major Naval Battle of the Second Wold War). Having fallen into dereliction in post War years, when it was predominantly used as storage for local fisherman's nets and pots, the building was acquired and extended by local builder Stewart Perkins in 1982.The sympathetic restoration process he put in place took 11 years to complete and has created a remarkably authentic period atmosphere and ambience throughout the extensive accommodation.
Since opening in its current guise in 1993, and built around an outstanding restaurant the White Horse & Griffin has developed into a famous success story.
From the restored central entrance porch with its original decorative panels and the exposed Victorian signage through the cobbled alleyway, the Hotel has separate entrances via stone and rail steps and opens up to four floors within which are 10 en-suite double bedrooms. Each of the rooms and the first floor private dining room are designated by name from well-known Whitby ships and Skippers.
The exposed timbers and stripped original panelling, restored cast fireplaces, decorative carpentry and plasterwork, together with quirky rooms and passageways breaths a history, which you can almost taste.
Diners and guests who have visited the White Horse and Griffin over the years include acting legend Michael Caine, musician Bryan Ferry, the Queen's cousin Viscount Linley and American Actress Linda Gray, best known for her role as Sue Ellen Ewing in Dallas

Joseph Holt have brewed on their site in the Cheetham area, to the north of Manchester city centre, since 1860. Ale and lager malts are now delivered in bulk loads and stored in silos while speciality malts continue to be delivered in sacks. Between 15 and 500 barrels (4,500 150,000 pints) can be brewed per day, and a hopback is still in use, along with traditional whole leaf hops, to collect and clarify wort after boiling. All ales are top fermented in enclosed square fermenters using the historic Joseph Holt yeast strain, while lagers are fermented and conditioned in modern cylindroconical vessels. Joseph Holt have their own borehole on the brewery site to abstract brewing liquor (water) and are one of only a handful of brewers in the UK still to rack into 36 gallon casks
It has a long-standing relationship with the Christie Hospital and the Holt Radium Institute in Manchester. This dates back to Sir Edward Holt, the great-grandfather of the current Chief Executive who founded the Holt Radium Institute in 1914

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JN1G15 - Albion, translated to present-day terms, means white' and is often associated with all things English. The present day ambience of the Albion's interior reflects this translation and has firm connections with the Great War going far beyond the modern concept' pub of today.
Mike Mercer has run the Albion Inn for over 37 years and has created and captured the essence of the Great War 1914-18 in this last remaining classic Victorian corner street pub within the City Walls of Chester.
Albion Street, and the adjoining Volunteer Street both lead to the former Drill Hall, which was a recruiting centre during the First World War.
Many a young lad would have spent his King's Shilling in the bar of the Albion before going to face the horrors of the Western Front.
The Albion Inn dates from the late 1880's and Mike and Christina have managed to retain the traditional three room layout covering Vault, Snug and Lounge, containing Great War artefacts and pictures, which give a distinct period feel, together with posters and enamelled advertising signs.
At the same time, The Albion provides high standards of food, drink and accommodation, worthy of its entry in many National and International Guides and Publications.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPB8TM - Arkell's Brewery was established in Swindon, England by John Arkell in 1843, and has been owned by members of the Arkell family since its establishment. It is Swindon's oldest company, built initially on the massive expansion of Swindon in the Victorian era with the arrival of the railways and the decision by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to site the Great Western Railway Works in Swindon in 1841.
Brewery
Originally a steam brewery, with the engines now being powered by electricity, Arkell's is a tower brewery which works on the principle that raw materials are fed into the top of the building and beer comes out in casks at the bottom.
The brewery building is a Grade II listed building and the site has been designated an Urban Conservation Area by Swindon Borough Council.
Distribution
The brewery owns 92 pubs in the Swindon area and surrounds, including locations in Oxford, Newbury, Reading, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Ascot
and sells its products to free houses in the Thames Valley and London.
In 2005, the brewery entered into a contract with rail company First Great Western to have its beer stocked in their buffet cars

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJGB2E - The French House is a pub and dining room at 49 Dean Street, Soho, London. It was previously known as the York Minster, but was informally called the French pub or the French house by its regulars. It sells more Ricard than anywhere else in Britain, and only serves beer in half-pints except on 1 April, when a recent custom apparently has been that Suggs serves the first pint of the day
The pub was opened by a German national named Christian Schmitt in 1891 and traded as York Minster. Schmitt died in 1911. His wife, Bertha Margaretha Schmitt, continued to run the pub until 1914
After the fall of France during the Second World War, General Charles de Gaulle escaped to London where he formed the Free French Forces. His speech rallying the French people, À tous les Français, is said to have been written in the pub.
The French House has always been popular with artists and writers. Brendan Behan wrote large portions of The Quare Fellow there, and Dylan Thomas once left the manuscript of Under Milk Wood under his chair. Other regulars over the years have included Francis Bacon, Tom Baker, Daniel Farson, Lucian Freud, Slim Gaillard, Augustus John, Malcolm Lowry, and John Mortimer.
The name was changed to The French House after the fire at York Minster in 1984. Contributions toward the restoration fund started arriving at the pub. Upon forwarding them, Gaston Berlemont found that the cathedral had been receiving deliveries of claret intended for him.
In recent years, landlady Lesley Lewis has encouraged Soho photographers to exhibit in the pub with regular contributions from John Claridge, William Corbett, Carla Borel and Peter Clark
and members of illustrators' collective, Le Gun. Claridge based his Soho Faces project at the French from 2004 to 2017. He said, I decided to document the customers at The French in earnest. For me, it was the one place in Soho that still held its Bohemian character, where people truly chose to share time and conversation

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0WRH6 - Extract for the LNWR railway Accident at Bolton Crook Street on 16th March 1918
In this case a special coal train from Hulton Sidings, when approaching Bolton Terminal Station, got out of control. It was turned into one of the lines in the goods yard (Crook Street), ran through the yard on the metals, forced its way through the boundary wall, crossed the public road diagonally and completely wrecked two small dwelling-houses. The guard jumped from the brake-van
the driver and fireman remained on the footplate. None of the men suffered more than minor injuries. Eight persons living in the houses were injured, though fortunately not seriously. In addition to the damage to the engine and house property, five wagons were demolished and seven others damaged.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHW8DH - What's the story?
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.
Most people wouldn't expect to cop off in here (the only thing being pulled is the beer) and it's not the most obvious venue for a first or any subsequent date

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDJ4A9 - 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.
Architecture

CAMRA's Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors describes the Golden Cross as the most spectacularly decorated of any in Wales.
The bar tiles, featuring distinctive corner grotesques, were designed by Craven Dunnill of Shropshire. The interior has several decorative pictorial panels of tiles that depict Cardiff Castle, Brains Brewery in 1890, and Cardiff's Old Town hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J880E8 - The Jolly Angler, Ducie Street. Another Manchester pub sold and to close.
But with a bit of effort, could this classic old pub be still saved?
The Jolly Angler is to close after Christmas 2020. This place defined the hidden away pub, lost in the streets between Piccadilly Station and Great Ancoats Street. Now it's been sold.
It's a proper old Ancoats pub that would have, once upon a time, been on a street of terraced houses amidst workshops. It's a cute place, just a couple of rooms, with a bit of architectural fancy in its Ducie Street lower façade. The opening times have been as hidden away as its location, lost somewhere between Monday and Saturday. It often seemed potluck to find it open.
It's right to be sentimental about the loss of old pubs
Yet when it has been open, it's been a great experience
friendly, a laugh and with a real fire too. There have been occasional folk nights - often with a definite Irish accent. It's always very jolly although I can't remember many anglers being in, not that I asked.
The owners were one of the big Greater Manchester four trad brewers, Hydes (with the others being Robinsons, Holt and the oldest of all, Lees.) We've asked Hydes for an interview and are awaiting a response but this site and the older, often it must be said, hideous surrounding buildings, have been surrounded by Manchester city centre's expansion.
This area is ripe for development and thus the site of the Jolly Angler and those around have been plucked. Whether this is Hydes cashing in we'll have to wait and see when they come back to us. Maybe it's anything but, but we'd like to know.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00AE - Yorkshire Cheapest Pint To Rise By A Quid Now Lockdown Is Over
We've all enjoyed the pubs reopening this month. Whether you went out, or you stayed at home and decided to see what happens, it's nice to see a little bit of normality getting back into society although, it does seem like this is the calm before the storm.
The biggest question now? Whether our beloved locals can survive through this turbulent time, which is expected to see people spending much less now that jobs are being axed and workers continue to live off the furlough scheme.
One brewery that has felt the pull is Yorkshire's oldest, Sam Smith. Founded in 1758, Sam Smith's pubs are the most traditional pubs you'll find in England. They like to stick to traditions such as no phone, swearing and a big push on a social and fun time that pubs have always been focused on.
One of their biggest pushes, and one that Yorkshire folk have always enjoyed, is the fact that they've managed to keep the price of a pint as one of the cheapest in the country without skimping on quality.
But even they've struggled post-lockdown, and have announced that they'll be hiking up the prices of some of their favourite beers by as much as £1. Taddy Lager will rise from £2.30 to £3.40 and their Soveriegn Bitter price will go from £2.04 to £3.04. You can hear the Yorkshireman's cry already Hooow muuchh?'.
Reports from The Sun show a Sam Smith's landlord saying: It's a heck of a price hike I don't know how I'm going to explain it to the customers. It's not going to make reopening after the lockdown any easier. The report also shows that Sam Smith pubs won't be the only ones implementing price changes, with Wetherspoons pubs set to be making the change too.

The biggest question now? Whether our beloved locals can survive through this turbulent time, which is expected to see people spending much less now that jobs are being axed and workers continue to live off the furlough scheme.
One brewery that has felt the pull is Yorkshire's oldest, Sam Smith. Founded in 1758, Sam Smith's pubs are the most traditional pubs you'll find in England. They like to stick to traditions such as no phone, swearing and a big push on a social and fun time that pubs have always been focused on.
One of their biggest pushes, and one that Yorkshire folk have always enjoyed, is the fact that they've managed to keep the price of a pint as one of the cheapest in the country without skimping on quality.
But even they've struggled post-lockdown, and have announced that they'll be hiking up the prices of some of their favourite beers by as much as £1. Taddy Lager will rise from £2.30 to £3.40 and their Soveriegn Bitter price will go from £2.04 to £3.04. You can hear the Yorkshireman's cry already Hooow muuchh?'.
Reports from The Sun show a Sam Smith's landlord saying: It's a heck of a price hike I don't know how I'm going to explain it to the customers. It's not going to make reopening after the lockdown any easier. The report also shows that Sam Smith pubs won't be the only ones implementing price changes, with Wetherspoons pubs set to be making the change too.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00DX - Maintaining records of staff, customers and visitors to support NHS Test and Trace
Organisations in certain sectors should collect details and maintain records of staff, customers and visitors on their premises to support NHS Test and Trace.
The UK is currently experiencing a public health emergency as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is therefore critical that organisations take a range of measures to keep everyone safe.
The easing of social and economic lockdown measures following the COVID-19 outbreak is being supported by NHS Test and Trace. You should assist this service by keeping a temporary record of your customers and visitors for 21 days, in a way that is manageable for your organisation, and assist NHS Test and Trace with requests for that data if needed. This could help contain clusters or outbreaks.
This publication provides further guidance on how you can do this in a proportionate and effective way.
There is a higher risk of transmitting COVID-19 in premises where customers and visitors spend a longer time in one place and potentially come into close contact with other people outside of their household. To manage this risk, establishments in the following sectors, whether indoor or outdoor venues or mobile settings, should collect details and maintain records of staff, customers and visitors:
hospitality, including pubs, bars, restaurants and cafés
tourism and leisure, including hotels, museums, cinemas, zoos and theme parks
close contact services, including hairdressers, barbershops and tailors
facilities provided by local authorities, including town halls and civic centres for events, community centres, libraries and children's centres
places of worship, including use for events and other community activities

The distingtive castle or tower design was first used by the Cheltenham Brewery. After the Second World War it acquired the Hereford and Tredegarbreweries becoming the Cheltenham and Herefordbrewery.The original design read Cheltenham & Hereford where it now reads West Country Ales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AXKD48 - In July 1620, the Mayflower sailed from Rotherhithe and picked up 65 passengers, probably from Blackwall, then proceeded to Southampton on the south coast of England to begin loading food and supplies for the voyage to America. At that time, the English Separatists, who later became known as the Pilgrim Fathers, were mostly still living in the city of Leiden, in the Netherlands. There they hired a ship called the Speedwell to take them from Delftshaven in the Netherlands to Southampton to join the Mayflower.
The ship's master, Christopher Jones, died shortly after his return in 1621 and is buried in an unmarked grave at St Mary's Church. No one can be sure where on the Rotherhithe peninsula the Mayflower was berthed, but the Mayflower pub near St Mary's Church claims the honour, and lists the names of the Mayflower passengers on their wall. The building itself, despite external and interior appearances, dates only from the 1950s. The extent to which the pub was damaged during the Second World War, and was rebuilt or simply restored is uncertain

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABJGBG - The Barras is a major street and indoor weekend market in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. The term barra is Glaswegian dialect for barrow, relating to the market's early years, where traders sold their wares from handcarts. Barrowland is sometimes used to describe the district itself where the market is located, which is actually officially known as Calton.
Because of its location on Gallowgate the main thoroughfare from the city centre to Parkhead and Celtic Park, Barrowlands is also notable for its large concentration of public houses and shops devoted to fans of Celtic Football Club. Baird's Bar was one of the best known Celtic-oriented pubs next door to the Barrowland Ballroom building, the bar has since closed down due to violent incidents that have occurred in the premises. The bar is to be reopened as a furniture store.
Glasgow Antiques and Randalls Antique and vintage Center, the Cartwheel and the Square Yard can all be found next to the Squirrel Bar.

Iconic pub The Woodman to close after 'HS2 works' and cost of living crisis 'kills' business
The cult pub plans to sell as much beer as possible before liquidators get their hands on it after being 'isolated' by HS2 works
One of Birmingham's oldest pubs is calling last orders for the final time. Despite putting up a brave fight, The Woodman pub has thrown in the towel after years of being 'isolated by HS2 works'.
The iconic Victorian venue, based on New Canal Street, by Millennium Point, says it has faced an uphill battle ever since work began for Curzon Street railway station located 20-feet away. Roads leading to the back-street boozer were cut off and cones, scaffolding and barriers became synonymous with the pub's identity.
Last year, general manager Will Young said it was miraculous that the 125-year-old pub still traded on the heels of the pandemic. He hoped the venue would survive HS2 and Covid disruptions and come out the other side stronger and on a whole new level.
But sadly, it is not to be. The beloved watering hole has announced it will close its doors permanently after being ravaged.
It said: Friends, family, regular customers and those who we see less regularly....it's finally happened. Nine years after rescuing the pub from dilapidation, The Woodman will be ceasing to trade.
We have battled hard to keep our favourite pub in the world open through adversity. But in the end, the combination of the relentless HS2 encroachment (which has begun to feel like there is no end in sight), the pandemic, the cost of living crisis and the soaring fuel prices...have beaten us.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGECY - BrewDog is a multinational brewery and pub chain based in Ellon, Scotland. With production of over 800,000 hectolitres, BrewDog claims to be the #1 Craft Brewer in Europe. It was founded in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, who together own 46% of the company.
The company has been involved in a number of controversies. These have focused on its treatment of employees, its use of unethical business practices, and hypocrisy in regards to its anti-establishment branding
BrewDog produces various types of ales and lagers, and several kinds of spirits.
BrewDog was founded in Fraserburgh in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, who had previously worked at Thornbridge Brewery, where he helped develop their flagship beer Jaipur.
In 2009, BrewDog purchased its first bar, in nearby Aberdeen. At the end of 2018, the company and its franchisees operated 78 bars worldwide
In 2008, BrewDog was accused of aggressive marketing by UK drinks industry watchdog the Portman Group and risked having its products withdrawn from British shops. BrewDog denied these allegations and countered that Portman was impeding the development of smaller brewing companies. In December 2008, after an eight-month long dispute and a preliminary adjudication, which had ruled against the company, BrewDog was cleared of all breaches of Portman's code of practice and permitted to continue marketing its products without making any changes to the packaging

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGEN3 - The Printworks entertainment venue is located on the revamped Withy Grove site of the business premises of the 19th century newspaper proprietor Edward Hulton, established in 1873 and later expanded. Hulton's son Sir Edward Hulton expanded his father's newspaper interests and sold his publishing business based in London and Manchester to Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere when he retired in 1923. Most of the Hulton newspapers were sold again soon afterwards to the Allied Newspapers consortium formed in 1924 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1943 and bought by Roy Thomson in 1959).
Earlier names of the buildings associated with publishing that were incorporated into the development include Withy Grove Printing House, the Chronicle Buildings, Allied House, Kemsley House, Thomson House and Maxwell House. Kemsley House on the corner of Withy Grove and Corporation Street was developed gradually from 1929 and became the largest newspaper printing house in Europe. The site housed a printing press until 1986. Robert Maxwell bought the property and subsequently closed it down The building was left unused for over a decade and fell derelict.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG9AER - Prosecco is an Italian white wine. Prosecco controlled designation of origin can be spumante (sparkling wine), frizzante (semi-sparkling wine), or tranquillo (still wine). It is made from Glera grapes, formerly known also as Prosecco, but other grape varieties may be included. The following varieties are traditionally used with Glera up to a maximum of 15 per cent of the total: Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. The name Prosecco is derived from the Italian village of Prosecco near Trieste, where the grape and wine originated.
Prosecco DOC is produced in nine provinces spanning the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. Prosecco Superiore DOCG comes in two varieties: Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG, which can only be made in the Treviso province of Veneto on the hills between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene (north of Treviso), and the smaller Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG, produced near the town of Asolo.
Prosecco is the main ingredient of the Bellini cocktail and can be a less expensive substitute of Champagne. It is also a key ingredient of venetian spritz, a popular cocktail in northern Italy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RF7M02 - The Star and Garter is a pub in Manchester, England with a room upstairs for club nights and gigs. It is situated on Fairfield Street behind Piccadilly railway station and has been a Grade II listed building since 20 June 1988
The name Star and Garter originates from an abbreviation of the name of the insignia belonging to Order of the Garter. The Star is eight pointed and of chipped silver. At its centre is a white enamelled medallion bearing the Cross of St George in red enamel and surrounded by a dark blue enamelled Garter edged with gold bearing the motto in gold letters.
Several English pubs are named the Star and Garter.
According to both popular myth, legend and at least two long since out-of-print local history tomes, the Star and Garter was built in 1803 approximately 100 yards from its current position. When Store Street/Bank Top/London Road railway station (the original names of Manchester Piccadilly station) was expanded with the addition of the connecting line to Oxford Road station in 1849, the Star and Garter was moved, brick by brick, onto its current site and reopened in 1877. Originally built as a hotel, although it did brew its own beer as well, the Star and Garter has since been transformed into a pub and club venue, although due to its listed status there are still many restrictions on how the structure of the building can be altered.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PAN573 - The Turf Tavern (or just the Turf) is a historic pub in central Oxford, England. Its foundations and use as a malt house and drinking tavern date back to 1381. The low-beamed front bar area was put in place sometime in the 17th century. It was originally called the Spotted Cow but the name was changed in 1842, likely as part of an effort to extinguish its reputation as a venue for illegal gambling activities.
The pub is frequented primarily by university students (of both Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University).[citation needed] It is located at the end of a narrow winding alley, St Helens Passage (originally Hell's passage), between Holywell Street and New College Lane, near the Bridge of Sighs. Running along one side of the pub is one of the remaining sections of the old city wall. Due to the illegal activities of many of its original patrons, the Turf sprang up in an area just outside the city wall in order to escape the jurisdiction of the governing bodies of the local colleges.
The Turf Tavern is also where future Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke set a Guinness World Record for consuming a yard glass of ale in 11 seconds in 1954. Other public figures who have dined or drunk at the tavern include Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher. It also served as a hangout for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies while the nearby colleges were used as locations throughout the filming of the series. The Turf Tavern also claims to be the location where future American president Bill Clinton, while a student at University College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, famously smoked but did not inhale marijuana.
It was also featured in the ITV TV Series Inspector Morse aired between 1987 and 2000

Aside from its stunning longevity, the pub is probably most famous for its quirky collection of ties - dating back to the early 1900s and representing clubs in the Oxford area and, more recently, around the globe.

In 1920 it was converted into accommodation for the stable lads and served the turf until it was purchased and converted into The Grand St. Leger Hotel.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MM9A01 - Hook Norton Brewery is a regional brewery in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England, several miles outside of the Cotswold Hills. Founded in 1849, the brewing plant is a traditional Victorian 'tower' brewery in which all the stages of the brewing process flow logically from floor to floor
mashing at the top, boiling in the middle, fermentation and racking at the bottom. Until 2006, the brewing process was powered by steam. Beer is still delivered in the village by horse-drawn dray.

Along with interviews with those involved in the case, parts of the latest planning committee meeting was broadcast on Damned Designs: Don't Demolish My Home.
A 'Save Our Shed' campaign was launched on Facebook last year as the conservatory is popular with Warrington Wolves fans on match days.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT2NX - The Grassmarket is a historic market place and an event space in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland. In relation to the rest of the city it lies in a hollow, well below surrounding ground levels.
The Grassmarket is located directly below Edinburgh Castle and forms part of one of the main east-west vehicle arteries through the city centre. It adjoins the Cowgate and Candlemaker Row at the east end, the West Bow (the lower end of Victoria Street) in the north-east corner, King's Stables Road to the north west and the West Port to the west. Leading off from the south-west corner is the Vennel, on the east side of which can still be seen some of the best surviving parts of the Flodden and Telfer town walls.
The Grassmarket tenements with the Castle shrouded in a typical Edinburgh haar
The view to the north, dominated by the castle, has long been a favourite subject of painters and photographers, making it one of the iconic views of the city.
First mentioned in the Registrum Magni Sigilii Regum Scotorum (1363) as the street called Newbygging [new buildings] under the castle, the Grassmarket was, from 1477, one of Edinburgh's main market places, a part of which was given over to the sale of horse and cattle (the name apparently deriving from livestock grazing in pens beyond its western end).
Daniel Defoe, who visited Edinburgh in the 1720s, reports the place being used for two open air markets: the Grass-market and the Horse-market. Of the West Bow at the north-east corner, considerably altered in the Victorian period, he wrote, This street, which is called the Bow, is generally full of wholesale traders, and those very considerable dealers in iron, pitch, tar, oil, hemp, flax, linseed, painters' colours, dyers, drugs and woods, and such like heavy goods, and supplies country shopkeepers, as our wholesale dealers in England do. And here I may say, is a visible face of trade
most of them have also warehouses in Leith, where they lay up the heavier goods

It offers Scottish cask ales, 40 malt whiskies and great food. Its a relaxed haven from the hubbub of the city, due to location on the border of the new and old towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYJP9 - Robert, Vasana & Jan have been creating and cooking Thai & Asian food for 17 years around the country. This is our latest venture, and by far a smaller pub.
Much more cosier and warm. Colin Crompton from the Comedians, and the Wheel Tappers & Shunters Social Club use to own our pub, and we are proud of that.
Most important to us, is to let our customers know that as well as having the Food side to the pub we will be running a locals bar as well. Having 1 guest beer in every week and we have a full range of Wines.
The food offer ranges from our secret recipe of Crispy Shredded Beef, to Tom Yam Soup and Thai Green Curry. The average price of our meals with rice is £8.00, but we always include Thai fragrant rice with our meals, we don't believe you so have to pay. It's like ordering Roast Beef and having to pay for the Yorkshire pudding.
We offer Thai, Chinese and our own recipes we have picked up from Asia. There is about 80 dishes in all, vegetarian and gluten free option are available.
Also offer a takeaway service, with 25% discount. We were one of the first pubs in the 1990's to offer a takeaway from a pub
There is an English selection of sandwiches, and light snacks through out the day, and also till 18.00pm we offer the Early Bird, which is 2 courses for £9.99. In the evening we will still offer a small selection of English food.
