Closed pubs project
http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/index.html
Has anyone else seen this? It could be useful as a source of historical information, and wonder if there's scope for interaction with PuG?
Some of their info is a bit out of date, but some cross-referencing might be ok.

I have brought this web site up before on a few occasions - it was added to the Pubs Galore Pub Link page some time ago. If you look at the Dartford page on the site you will see that I have been quite active and added several pubs, some of which have been closed for over a hundred years but still exist as shops or offices. Given the number of closed pubs in existance they have an awful lot of work to do but it is actually quite interesting to spot old pubs and then try to find out something about them via local history books, websites etc.

it is a good site, although some on there have re-opened!

Just had a look at the Dartford page and noticed one has reopened + there are a few errors in his annotations on some pubs so I have sent him an e-mail to a) update the page and b) suggest he pops on our Forum to say hi and maybe generate a bit of business for himself!

I'll stay on me own
I have had a look at this site over a year ago and i found there were too many mistakes on the site for me to trust what was on the site,i think there intentions are good but they are using some very duff imformation which makes the site unusable for me.

Hi everyone
Just a quick post to thank those people who pointed me at this forum.
As regards the comments re. site errors - guilty as charged I'm afraid. The main issue is with keeping entries up to date. I'm particularly conscious of the fact that I'm quite often not aware that a pub has reopened. As such when I am informed of pub re-openings I try to update that entry ASAP; a new publican doing a Google search on his pub name doesn't want to see it flagged as closed.
Thanks for all the Q.A. comments though - it's not just notification of pub closures, past or present, that I like to receive.

Hi Alan
Just click on the 'submit' button and email me the details of the errors. I will then update the site. Unfortunately I don't have the database skills to allow users to make their own changes.
Thanks
Glenn
