The clinking of glasses and boisterous laughter has long been replaced by the beep of scanners and the rustle of carrier bags.

Across Britain, a familiar sight is disappearing from our streets: the traditional pub. In their place, a growing trend - the conversion of these once-social hubs into convenience stores.

Witness the transformation, from lively pub to generic convenience store. These pictures show local boozers that have now become Tesco stores.

Most are from Southampton but some are slightly further afield.

Can you think of any more? Let us know in the comments below.

The Castle - Bitterne Park

The Castle on Witts Hill opened in 1935 and closed in 2012. The building was one of many pubs to have become a Tesco Express.

The large community pub was at the summit of one of Southampton's highest spots.

The Woodman - Lordswood

The Woodman was located in Coxford Road. The pub closed in 2011 and was converted into a Tesco Express.

There were originally rumours about it becoming an Indian restaurant.

The Bulls Eye - Sholing

The Bulls Eye, built after the Second World War, was situated in Butts Road.

The pub closed in 2011 and was converted into a Tesco Express.

The Royal Oak - Millbrook

The original Royal Oak was a 300-year-old pub when it was demolished in 1965.

A new pub of the same name was built behind the old building and served a thirsty public before it was closed in the late 1990s.

Tesco Express took over the majority of the building and a fish and chip shop opened in the remaining part.

The Sportsman’s Arms - Lymington

The Sportsman’s Arms could once be found on the corner of The Square and Priestlands Road.

Once the place of revelry and laughter, the watering hole shut its doors for the last time around 10 years ago.

The building is currently occupied by Tesco Express.

The Croft - Hythe

The Croft in Langdown Lawn, Hythe, closed in 2012 among fears from local residents that the site would be used for housing.

The former country house had been a part of Hythe’s pub scene since 1955.

Tesco moved into the building shortly after the pub closed.

Prince of Wales - Eastleigh

The Prince of Wales could be found on Bishopstoke Road in Eastleigh.

Originally opened as a shop in 1855, it wasn’t long before it became a pub.

During the 1990s, a transformation occurred, and it was given a new identity as "The Barge," inspired by its proximity to the Itchen Navigational Canal.

Regaining its original name, The Prince of Wales, the establishment eventually ceased operations in April 2011 and underwent a conversion into a Tesco Express.
