We compiled a selection of pubs and hotels which faced the bulldozers and it was quite a list of places which could bring back memories.
Did you like a visit to the Locarno or enjoyed a night out with friends at the Ford Hotel? We have these and more besides.
It got us thinking of the other venues we have loved. See how many you remember.
