I agree. After Blackthorn's picture in 2011, why would anyone want to go back and take another? Oh look, it's Graham Mason, Peter Ashworth and John McGraw, engaged in their private battle at the top of the photographers league table (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/stats/users/photographers/). I admit to having photographed closed pubs myself, but I don't go around looking for them, just to boost my stats.

Damn! I was very near there recently and could have taken a pic! I would question whether it was the right decision to add it as a pub that was already closed.

The serial number of this pub (21864) indicates that it was on the original database, so it was almost certainly open at the time it was added to the site.

OK fair enough, I was looking at the log of amendments which doesn't show when it was added.

At least Peter Ashworth got 2 cars and a pizza restaurant in his photo.Well done that man.

OK Fellows I get the message. No more ancient closed pub submissions perhaps the odd recently closed ones. Below is the % ratio of closed pubs to open ones for the top ten photographers.

Grahame Mason 41.1
John Magraw 33.5
Jim Newell 24.6
Alan Winfield 23.7
Wayne Route 23.4
Peter Ashworth 21.7
Johnathon Wilde 20
Will Larter 19.3
Blackthorn 10.1
Quinno 7.8

But those percentages will show pictures of when some were open so is deceptive to some extent.

Yes I know the majority of the list do not go out of there way to take photos of closed pubs I was just pointing out that I was not the worst offender.

Not the worst by a long chalk!

And to be fair, most of Alan Winfield's were open when he photographed them, so their inclusion is very valid.

Agreed.
