The map below is still a Work in Progress and there will be occasional mis-matches between the narrative above and the map below. Please bear with me.
Markers in RED have been demolished but the locations are known and (hopefully) accurately placed.
Those markers in GREEN are closed but the building still stands, locations accurate.
Those markers in ORANGE are closed as pubs, but still licenced premises being clubs or similar, again location accurate.
Those in BLUE are demolished and the location only known by name but the exact location (and maybe the street itself) are now lost in the mists of time [or alcoholic haze!]. If you know where any of these were located please let us know.
