Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I changed my Avatar picture to show this former landmark building. I was hoping for some spontaneous recogniton of this edifice, but, alas.  Can anyone guess what it is?

Ah, yes. The good ol' Trumpeter Inn. I thought you'd never notice. You've now given away that you've seen it in daylight. I'd spent many a night there enjoying a warm beer. (Sorry about the loss of your friend.) Google: "chesterfield U.K. pub demolished". After that, Google Earth Street View. Hasn't been so long since the dozer, so the view still shows the Trumpeter upright.

Berger,

I understand and apologize if I deserve a "cheeky bastard" title.

Richard you mean you drank there? I didn't use it until the 90's and very rare because I moved to a house in 1994 on the door step of the nags head , which was also knocked down and is now a mobility shop, the nags shut the furness shut  the angel  shut and the Walton hotel shut all within a square mile   only the whitecoats left and myself and the landlord don't get on, now it will have to be town drinking and no local for me

Kidding, about having been there. Warm beer is one American image of Bitish pubs. Probably incorrect.

Well you wouldn't want real beer served cold now would you?

Spot on GB - cellar temperature for proper ale, 3-4 C. If the only choice is lager then as cold as possible to help mask the taste  .

I’d go for real ale at 10degC, but no matter how hard I try to educate the locals they just don’t get that here

If a beer is warmer than 2-3C I call it soup!
Cheers

I used to work for Guinness. Guinness should be stored and served at 58 F. The cognoscenti shuddered at the concept of cool Guinness. Quite ruins it.

Gawd, I don't drink my coffee till it's nearly as warm as that.
Cheers
