The Battery Hotel, has only recently closed
Both were named after the artillery training site. It later moved to Bare, somewhere around where the golf club is now

Heysham Towers, I have never known of any Towers in Heysham, except the two Nuclear power stations Towers, which are a good 30-minute walk away!
Ditto Nags Head in Holloway.
A fairly recent one in Weston-super-Mare is Worle (Homebase) on Bristol Road, the shop now being named Bunnings I believe.
A little tongue-in-cheek, but my father witnessed the burning down of the Crystal Palace from his home in Bromley, and that was 1936!!
The part of Upper Norwood is still called Crystal Palace with the railway station of that name serving that area.
The Premier League football team which I support also carries that name....
Similarly the stop outside Morrison’s in Chesterfield still says Safeway’s on the shelter, although I don’t know it’s official name has chYWould’ve been the U10 and I think it went 2016.
Another pub one local to me is the road from Farrington Gurney to Paulton. Both flag and the 768 refer to the Miners Arms though it’s been Spice Dunes curry house since 2009.
That said, the stop outside the former bus depot site in Bath, and now a Morrisons, still referred to it at Safeway Store until just a few years ago
Heysham Tower was a house nearby, where the scottish-names streets are close to the school. Note, it was singular, Tower, hence it's really Heysham Tower's bus stop, not Heysham Towers!Heysham Towers, I have never known of any Towers in Heysham, except the two Nuclear power stations Towers, which are a good 30-minute walk away!
Apologies in advance, but Bare Golf Club sounds as apochryphal as Loose Women's Institute!Both were named after the artillery training site. It later moved to Bare, somewhere around where the golf club is now
Isn't the stop still "Worle Sainsbury's"?A fairly recent one in Weston-super-Mare is Worle (Homebase) on Bristol Road, the shop now being named Bunnings I believe.
'Homebase' is the X1/X2 stops on Bristol Road. I think the 'Sainsbury's' stops are now officially 'Worle Terminus'!Isn't the stop still "Worle Sainsbury's"?
