THE last decade has seen around 10,000 pub closures across Britain and the Black Country has not avoided the decline.
The Lost Pubs Project, which keeps track of boozers where last orders was called for the last time, says four pubs close each day in the UK.
Check out our selection of some of the pubs lost to the community in our region and leave a comment to share your memories of watering holes where pints are no longer pulled.
Out of the pubs shown above:
The Woodman, Bromsgrove Road, Halesowen, closed in 2009, attempts to re-open it were unsuccessful and the pub is now a convenience store.
The Royal Oak, High Street, Amblecote, closed down and turned into a veterinary surgery.
The Kings Highway, Hagley Road West, Quinton, was closed down in 2007 and turned into a shopping area which has an Asda Supermarket and also branches of Subway and Starbucks Coffee.
