I think the rot set in when the breweries realised that they were sitting on a lot of valuable town centre real estate. In recent years they've pushed up the rental to landlords supposedly to reflect the value of the freehold premises. The end result has been many traditional pubs struggling to turn a profit.

Once you factor in the high 'tied' beer prices it's been impossible for many of them to find money to upgrade or even to maintain an acceptable standard.

They've been forced to price themselves out of business.
