Update: Historic Nuneaton Town Centre Pub Faces Demolition Milestone
The demolition of a historic pub in Nuneaton’s town centre has reached a significant milestone. The once iconic structure is now undergoing major alterations, marking the end of an era for the local area.
Demolition Progress of a Historic Nuneaton Town Centre Pub
Work began on January 13 to dismantle outbuildings associated with the pub. Nearly a month later, the main structure is visibly undergoing demolition, with scaffolding now covering the site. Observers have noted the complete removal of the roof and its distinctive chimneys, which had adorned the skyline of Upper Abbey Street for many years.
Significant Historical Background
The pub, previously known as the ‘Coach and Horses’, has a rich history. Operating since the early 1800s, it served as a coaching inn. It was a popular establishment within the local ‘Abbey Run’ circuit, offering a vibrant social space for the community.
- Opening Year: Early 1800s
- Status: Closed for decades
- Historical Significance: Former coaching inn
The site had been vacant for years and faced scrutiny due to safety concerns. Despite the planning permission for demolition being granted, there is currently no clear indication of what future developments, if any, are planned for the location.
Future Prospects for the Site
As work continues, the local community is awaiting updates on potential redevelopment plans. If new constructions are to be initiated, further planning permissions will need to be secured once the existing structure is entirely removed.
Nuneaton residents are encouraged to stay informed on developments in the area through community channels, including a WhatsApp group dedicated to local news updates.
