Vanishing pubs

Last time I was in Durham (about two years ago) I went looking for my old local, the General Gordon. It had disappeared (or I'm as blind as a bat). I know a lot of pubs have disappeared in recent years but this one was special to me. It was that rarity, a pub that still had tray service in the snug and an after hours lock-in most nights. Legend had it that Prince Kropotkin used to drink in there in his day.

Its a mystery
