From historic inns in the town centre to neighbourhood locals that served generations of residents, High Wycombe has seen dozens of pubs disappear from its streets over the years.

The information below comes from The Lost Pubs Project, a website which records closed pubs from across the UK.

Each entry includes the name of the pub and the address where it once stood. Where a year or date appears in brackets, it indicates the closure date recorded by the project.

While some names will be familiar to long-time residents, others have faded from memory.

Together, they offer a fascinating snapshot of High Wycombe's changing social history and the many pubs that were once part of everyday life in the town.

Here's a look at where High Wycombe's lost pubs once stood.
