9. Sir Robert Peel
Built in 1967 as part of the Somers Town estate. In the 1990s Sir Robert Peel became a free house but closed in early 2004 as the long serving landlords retired. The pub was later demolished and a residential block of flats was built. Photo: Michael Scaddan
10. The Swan
The Swan was situated at 100 Copnor Road, but closed by the start of 2011. A planning application was submitted later in the year to demolish the pubs and turn it into flats, which became a reality a couple of years later. Photo: The News
