Lost Pubs from the WME Archives

Pubs have been a theme in my photography right from the very start - as landmarks of their local area I've always been keen to capture them on camera, as well as popping in for a pint or two along the way! Over time I've become increasingly aware that several of the establishments I'd photographed have since passed into the history books, hence I started this roughly monthly series to remember those bygone boozers.


Here's a quick listing so I can keep track of the series so far - 182 pubs and counting...
