Ministers are privately also saying they expect pubs to be allowed to reopen with outdoor dining as minimum as soon as the first weekend in April, so households can have Easter lunch together. As part of a “carrot and stick” approach, ministers are also working on an Australia style approach that will see local areas locked down if there were a massive outbreak of the virus, or an outbreak of a new strain that could affect the efficacy of vaccines. The Prime Minister will this week meet with his Cabinet and scientific advisers to begin drawing up his roadmap out of lockdown, and will address the nation on Feb 22.

Do you remember any of these Derby pubs we’ve loved and lost?Remember the City Tavern?The Ram Inn in Bridge Street, at the junction of Brook Street, was built between 1818 and 1827 to serve the mill situated across the road. After closing in the early 2010s, it was vandalised and fire damaged and finally demolished in 2017It’s hard to imagine that at one time there was once six pubs in the space between where the Dolphin still stands in Queen Street and westwards, towards roughly where St Alkmund’s Way now runs.Or that there was a similar number along St Peter’s Street up from St Peter’s Churchyard towards The Spot.In fact, walk along any road in Derby even 50 years ago and you would be hard pressed not to come across a pub every few yards.In fact, one of the best ways of giving people directions was via the pubs: “Turn left at the New Inn, right at the White Swan and keep on going until you pass the Vaults.” or some such instruction.A pub really was a “local” in the drinking sense of the word for many communities dotted around the town and those more in the central area, were equally populated by tradespeople and shoppers alike.Take for example the Lord Belper at the junction of Spa Lane and Abbey Street, which would vie with the Spa Inn for customers. The former closed in 1962, leaving the latter to increase its custom.Or the City Tavern, which became the Garden City Hotel on the corner of Vivian Street, and is now converted into flats.The following photos show just a few of the Derby pubs which no longer exist either because they closed or demolished.
