The following pubs have closed in the branch area.
| Pub | Owner | Description | Closed | Picture |
| Mytton Arms, Pontdolgoch | Free House | Closed in 1995 and became the award winning Talkhouse Restaurant, which has also subsequently closed. Now run as a B&B, but still retains its Public House status until this day. Unlikely to return, but who knows... | approx. 1995 |  |
| Bear Hotel, Newtown | Free House | The main coaching inn within Newtown, which was scandalously demolished in the late 80's to create a new shopping centre in the middle of the town. The facade was rebuilt, but it's loss is still lamented. | 1987 |  |
| Oak Inn, Old Churchstoke | Free House | Small, stone walled, wooden beamed inn that dated back to 1580. It was situated on a minor road between Churchstoke and Priest Weston and is now a private house. | Approx. 1992 |  |
| Wynnstay Arms, Llanfair Caereinion | Free House | Situated in the village centre, this was a very old pub with a big function room and was the largest of all the Llanfair pubs. Converted into flats in the early 1990's. | Approx. 1992 |  |
| Eagles Hotel, Newtown | Sam Powell | This popular ex GBG pub closed in the mid-nineties to become a solicitors office. Affectionately known as the Dagmar, with local Sam Powell ales on sale. | 1994 |  |
| Three Tuns, Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant | Marstons | Situated aside a steep hill on the west side of the village. Sadly converted into flats at the turn of the century | Approx. 1999 |  |
| Coach & Horses, Llanidloes | Free House | Situated on Smithfield Street, the Coach & Horses shut its doors for the final time in 2001 to become a B&B. | 2001 |  |
| Wheatsheaf, Newtown | Burtonwood | A popular edge of town pub that became an Indian Restaurant shortly after the new millennium. | 2001 |  |
| Cross Guns, Newtown | Free House | This was a large pub situated on Park Street, which had a function room at the rear. Premises now used as an Italian restaurant. | 2003 |  |
| Trewythen Hotel, Llanidloes | Free House | Once the main hotel in town, with a very basic bar. Remains as part hotel and flats, but no longer open to the drinking public. | 2005 |  |
| Glansevern Arms, Pant Mawr | Free House | A somewhat isolated hotel found 5 miles away from Llangurig on the Aberystwyth road. Once a regular in the GBG, but was demolished for road widening around 2009. No trace of the hotel remains. | 2005 |  |
| Bricklayers Arms, Montgomery | Free House | Once a popular Montgomery local on the Chirbury road that was turned into a restaurant at the beginning of the new millennium. Finally succumbed to the history books when it was converted into a private house in 2005. | 2005 |  |
| Red Dragon, Newtown | Banks | Spacious, 70's built pub on Maesyrhandir estate, but is long closed. It fell into dereliction and was demolished in 2019. | 2009 |  |
| Unicorn Hotel, Llanidloes | Enterprise Inns | Sold by Enterprise Inns in 2008 under condition that it could not reopen as a pub - due to them having other premises in the town. Currently run as a restaurant and retaining it's original name. Always a chance pub status could be restored in the future. | 2008 |  |
| Lower Cross Keys, Llanfyllin | Free House | This grade II listed pub which originated as a sixteenth century hall house was situated on the northern side of the High Street within Llanfyllin. It ceased trading in approximately 2011. Recently converted to a Christian community meeting place. | 2011 |  |
| New Inn, Bettws Cadewain | Punch Taverns | Closed by Bettws Hall in 2012, as they opened a brand new pub up in the former shop just 50 yards away. Once the beating heart of the village, but no more; with a planning application, ironically accepted, to convert into a village shop and flats. | 2012 |  |
| Mermaid Inn, Welshpool | Banks | This was an old, timbered inn situated halfway up the high street that had planning permission to be converted to flats in 2012. | 2012 |  |
| Waterloo Arms, Abermule | Admiral Taverns | Converted into offices in 2016 after closing the previous year. A couple were due to buy the pub, to retain it as a licensed premises, but the Admiral Taverns did a u-turn to sell to an insurance firm. A needless loss! | Oct 2015 |  |
| Tanhouse Inn, Llangyniew | Free House | Finally closed in late 2016 when new owners decided to convert to residential. Had it's heyday in the 80's when it was a popular disco venue. The lack of housing around it and strictly enforced drink driving laws led to it's ultimate demise. | Nov 2016 |  |
| Angel Inn, Newtown | Free House | This iconic high street pub was converted into a Costa Coffee in 2017. It was popular in recent years as a late night venue | April 2017 |  |
| Flying Shuttle, Newtown | Free House | 1970's built estate pub that was very popular in the early years. Trade sadly declined and it never managed to shake off a bad reputation during the later stages of it's existence. Demolished to make way for a care home in 2018, thus leaving this side of the town without a pub | July 2018 |  |
