Ye Olde Wheatsheaf, Christleton Road, Boughton
This stylish old building is no longer a public house and has had a chequered history in recent years. There is a sign on the gable end suggesting it is part of the Jahan Restaurant and Take Away chain, but it is not included on their website.

Another pub hits the dust
Ye Olde Wheatsheaf on Christleton Road. It was a Greenalls pub was run by landlord Harry Allan and his wife Beryl in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Old Harry could be a bit of a misery and supposedly kept an old bandage sling behind the bar and slipped it on if any tourist coach parties came in on summer afternoons, and he'd say " I'm on my own with me bad arm, sorry you'll have to go next door". A few years after Harry retired, the brewery sold it
and it opened as an antiques shop and then a Thai restaurant. It has been mostly un-occupied for the last 15 years. http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/cheshire/chester_oldwheatsheaf.html

Former pub, Christleton Road, Chester
Once the Old Wheatsheaf or Ye Olde Wheatsheaf. Good green faience ground floor.
It's hard not to feel this pub is staring you out baring its teeth.
Still disused at the time of writing, 2020, though in remarkably good nick considering that it had been empty for at least six years when this photo was taken:
