nice to see these three compilations. One criticism .... many of the photos are not identifiable. It would have been good to have titles and ideally locations on all the photos. however good job

The smoking ban killed a fair few off in my opinion.

Had my first under age pint in the Prince Arthur on Roundhay Road, suppose it was a right of passage in the sixties.

At the end of the day people vote with their pockets. Cheap booze from supermarkets killed pubs; average cost of a pint in UK £4, 18 pack of John Smiths 440ml (almost a pint) £16 just over £1 per pint. When times are hard which are people going to choose? All pubs suited different market places; if a pub was near a factory then the majority of its trade came from that factory. Companies began to clamp down on their workers drinking during working hours then moved to other sites and the pub was done. Even pubs in housing estates if you went in before 8pm on a week day were dead. At the end of the day pubs are businesses not community amenities and if the community won't use them they will die.

Good riddens...a good selection if dumps

Well, church attendances have been declining steadily since the 1960s as well. Ultimately people vote with their feet. The pubs simply aren’t in demand in the way they once were.
