'Duke of Edinburgh' plans released

Back in May, we mentioned that the the Duke of Edinburgh pub on Malpas Road was being redeveloped as flats. Here's an image of what it will look like when done.

Its small size and off-the-beaten-track location meant that the pub (not especially cherished according to readers' comments) was never going to be a prime candidate for redevelopment as a gastropub, 'trendy wine bar' or even a decent local boozer, but it's always a shame when handsome pubs pass away. At least the rennovation should be reasonably sensitive.

The flats are on the market with Acorn.

Any comments?
