| Devonshire House |
A pleasant enough plastic pub with extensive conference facilities in the complex, along with a night club called "Reds".
Now just a hotel.

Dryden "DD"
 |
A plain, traditional two roomed boozer in a rather impressive building. The decline of the local industries and residential population means that this place is rarely busy.
Noted closed and boarded up by early 2007 and demolished in 2008.

The "Sizzling Steak" food was good value for money in this pleasant two bar pub, where service was sometimes slow. Bowling green behind. LSTV. Closed 11 August 2001 and now demolished. Irritatingly, it spent a year after demolition as a pile of rubble before becoming a billboard site.

Gardener's Arms
 |
Rather nice but a little dark interior in this large two-bar pub. "Feasting Fox" food daytimes. Noted tinned up in 2012.
Last visited 1998.

Edge Lane Drive / Broad Green Road
|
Glasshouse
|
The wood panelled and mirrored interior looks better than the slightly tatty outside suggests. 2 pool tables, darts board. Shut when I visited on a Monday lunchtime.
It was closed and boarded for a time, then re-opened, but noted closed once again and boarded up, in 2021.

| Mango (Wavers) |
My notes on Wavers: A modern building with an interior featuring lots of chrome and a fountain. Not to be visited under any circumstances - This is the only place I have ever seen cloudy lager! Food lunch time, and they do an excellent buffet if you're arranging a function.
It became a Wine Bar called Mango. Reported closed by 2024.

Mill Lane Sports Bar (Sportsman) (McGinty's) "Fletch's"
|
In 1999 the Sportsman was a nice, fairly new flat house converted from two shops, popular with local workers at lunch time. I never visited McGinty's, finally returning in 2023 to find the Mill Lane Sports Bar with a pleasant plain well maintained interior.
Last visited June 2023.

| Old Manor House (Brewster's) |
Pleasant decor but a little grubby in this one bar two room pub in the ground floor of a large house. A surprisingly small counter in a fairly large room. Manor Suite function rooms behind.
Now closed.

Railway Hotel

A rather pleasant and well cared for back-street pub with two bars. Twee wooden beams in the lounge side. The lunch time food looks good value. LSTV. Tables on the pavement in summer. Changes in spring 2004 have provided more room in the lounge side by removing most of the counter, leaving just a serving point with all the pumps and bottles through in the bar side.
Now closed.

Wellington

This large two bar pub was always packed on a Friday lunch time, but with the recent decline of local industry it seems to be a lot quieter now. Pool tables in the back bar. It was closed temporarily in 2001, and finally by 2008.
