Budget boozer which served £1.50 pints and hoped for 'success like Poundland'

Pound stores transformed the British high street, and the launch of a budget chain of pubs hoped to replicate this success.

With the popularity of the likes of Poundbakery and PoundCafe, Pound Pubs could arguably be seen as the next logical step. The first Pound Pub launched to great success in Stockton-on-Tees in 2014, with the next one opening in Greater Manchester later the same year.

With its yellow and white branding and EasyJet style lettering, Pound Pubs looked every inch the no-frills option for the nation's pub goers. The first Greater Manchester Pound Pub opened on Market Street, Atherton.
