Demolished 8/7/2019 for further retail development. Closed 18/3/2019. Planning Application 123353/VO/2019 | CITY COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT to demolish vacant redundant former public house licensed premises known as The Suburban Pub to enable the future development of the site Granted 23/5/2019. And Planning Application 078079/FO/2005/N2 | Erection of a Class A1 foodstore (8,198 sqm) and retail units on two floors (1,672 sqm), petrol filling station and market hall in refurbished former foodstore following demolition of existing market hall, former cinema building and retail units ( but with retention of three retail units at junction of Garratt Way and Wellington Street). Closure of Dorney Street and Gorelan Road. New vehicular junction at Hyde Road; parking for 584 vehicles with service yard accessed from Garratt Way. Granted 5/4/2006. History: almost completely dwarfed by the nearby Tesco store (built 2010) which totally hid what was the original front of the pub from the aspect of Hyde Road. The vault was the oldest part of the building, while the lounge was in an extension built in better trading times a few decades ago, probably late 1970s. The latter had been pleasantly refurbished. Sadly, the Suburban ceased to sell cask JW Lees beers in 2014.
