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.
9. The Bath Hotel, Northumberland Street, Morecambe
The Bath Hotel was a rock and bikers’ pub for many many years and one of the most popular music venues in the North West. Many people remember the pub with great affection. Tracy Brown said: "Bath Hotel's fancy dress Christmas Party... you just had to be there. Loved it! Needs that kind of community again... it was great." Landlord Russell Sherwood, who left the venue in August last year, hinted that the pub would reopen possibly as an art deco or cocktail bar, and following an art deco makeover, the venue did in fact reopen as The Bath Tap craft bar earlier this year.

10. Blue Anchor, Market Street, Lancaster
Many readers remembered The Blue Anchor including Ste Hunt, Paul Wadeson, Paul Middleton, Tom Carter, Susan Hickey and Jason Blezard. The Blue Anchor later became 1725, an authentic Spanish tapas restaurant and bar, which eventually closed down. Then in April last year, it reopened as Sydney's restaurant but closed again not long after. Last year, the beautiful Grade II listed building was reopened by Bier and Twist. Photo: Garth Hamer

12. Walkabout, Dalton Square, Lancaster
The Walkabout was an Aussie-themed pub that opened in July 1999 and was popular for live sport. They had seating at the rear - built like terracing - with a massive screen. The pub reopened as The Dalton Rooms in 2010 with a dance floor, and is now the home of Vibe nightclub. Photo: Submit
