As your comments show, there have been many much-loved pubs which have sadly been forced to shut down over the years.
Here are just some of the old boozers that our readers wish were still in business.
5. Oscar's Wine Bar, George Street, Lancaster
Oscar's gained notoriety in October 2012 - just five months after opening - after it served Gaby Scanlon of Heysham a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen while she was celebrating her 18th birthday. Ms Scanlon was left close to death after drinking the £3.95 shot. She spent weeks in hospital and had to have her stomach removed. The bar was fined £100,000. Oscar's closed suddenly in September 2017. It was previously know as Varsity until May 2012. Today the premises is occupied by Hogarths Gin Palace. Photo: Submit
6. The Victoria, Victoria Street, Morecambe
A night out in Morecambe wasn't complete in the 1980s without a drink in The Vic, as it was affectionately known. Following its closure, it was put up for auction in 2013. Around 2015, it became the home of The Welcome Cafe, run by Elaine Oldfield and Cath Evans. The cafe closed last year blaming rising energy costs. Photo: Garth Hamer
7. The Fat Scot, Gage Street, Lancaster
Many of you mentioned The Fat Scot, which was a bit of a bikers' pub in its day. Gill Lane said she worked in the Scot from 1989-ish until it shut in 1997.The Gage Street pub has also been known under other names including Spooners and Mood. Today it houses The Tap House. Photo: Google
8. The Britannia, Ullswater Road, Lancaster
Couns Jack Lenox and Lizzi Collinge with residents outside The Britannia in Lancaster. Councillors joined with residents in a last ditch effort to save the Lancaster pub at the heart of its community in July 2021. A planning application had been lodged with Lancaster City Council for a change of use for student housing. The pub closed at the start of the pandemic and never reopened. Photo: Submit
