Its official ! The last remaining public house in St Ann’s, Nottingham, is The Sycamore at the junction of Abbotsford Drive / Hunger hill Road.
The number of pubs in St Ann’s has declined significantly over the last decade. The closure of the Westminster last November meant that the number remaining in 2013 was just two; St Ann’s Inn on Shelton Street, and the Sycamore at the junction of Hunger hill Road & Abbotsford Drive.
Now another St Ann’s pub faces closure, to be turned into a day nursery on the ground floor with living space above, after a planning application was submitted to the City Council on August 29th.
The pub is owned by Trust Inns Ltd, Blenheim House, Ackhurst Park, Chorley, Lancashire.
The site is located at the junction of Shelton Street and Abbotsford Drive, in St Ann’s, which is on the north-east boundary of Nottingham city centre.
The building is a 1970ʼs public house with living accommodation at first floor. The external space is used for parking to the north with a fenced external seating area to the south-east.
According to the planning application
“Due to the decline in popularity of public houses similar to this, it is no longer a viable business. It is for this reason that our client has decided to utilise the existing building and convert it into a day nursery for children aged 1-5 year olds. The building itself will remain as existing, and the internal layout will be reorganised to create the spaces required.”
The public have another 27 days to comment on the application.
