Having stood empty for some years, the Duke of York in Chiswick is to be converted to residential use. It was once described as a ‘traditional community local’ but custom drifted away and Fuller’s sold it in 2017. It closed in 2018. An attempt to refurbish and reopen it was thwarted by squatters and the subsequent pandemic. The pub dates from the 1880s and is the work of the renowned pub architect T H Nowell Parr. The building is locally listed because of its terracotta decorations, believed to have been supplied by Royal Doulton. The developers have promised to restore these features. At least this example of Nowell Parr’s work will survive superficially. There was another of his pubs close by called the Devonshire Arms. From 2007 to 2010 it was a Gordon Ramsay gastropub but it didn’t last and, despite a couple of further attempts, it closed permanently and in 2013 planning permission was granted for its demolition and replacement by a block of seven flats.
