The Jubilee pub in Leeman Road is up for sale for just £1.

It first went on the market in September 2022 with campaigners battling for the pub to be reopened for the community. A planning inspector ruled that Wakefield-based Tri-Core Developments can build three flats in the building, overturning a decision by City of York Council.

Part of the first floor and all of the second floor will be turned into three flats with the pub and the function room remaining on the ground floor but reduced in size.

Shannon Edwards, a Friends of The Jubilee committee member, said that it was not the outcome they had wanted, however, they can take heart from their hard work over the three years to make sure that the pub, the function room and the beer garden are protected from development. The pub originally opened in 1897 and was named for Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee.
