Beijing House
A Chinese restaurant, which I'm pretty sure was still a pub (possibly already closed) when I first past this way in June 2008.

The Paddock Hotel, formerly 'The Strangeways'
For some reason, the front signs proclaim a change of name for this pub - though the one on the gable end still reads 'The Strangeways'. Sadly, it hasn't helped secure its long-term future, and it is now 'To Let'.

A new lease of life?
The pub has been closed for some time now, and it looks as if it is being turned into a private dwelling. The signs in the window say 'To Let. May Sell.' The banner on the gable end expresses a company's interest in buying further properties.
