THE city has many popular drinking holes which have been running for years - but do you remember any of these former pubs?
Dozens of pubs in Worcester have either closed down, demolished or turned into homes, flats, takeaways and supermarkets.
Here are 20 pubs from across Worcester that may be, albeit hazily, familiar.
The Deers Leap closed in 2010 and was eventually demolished and replaced with Barbourne Medical Centre.
The Duke of Wellington, which was once described as 'the squalidest pub' in Worcester, closed in around 1970. It was located near where Elgar School of Music and Huntingdon Hall now sits.
The Ewe and Lamb closed in the early 70s and was demolished.
The building of the former pub in Sansome Street still exists and has been used as offices for at least the last two decades.
