Plans to convert listed pub into home

Yahoo18-02-2025
A 200-year-old rural Derbyshire pub that was closed due to "mounting losses" could now be shut for good and become a home.
The Black Swan pub in Wirksworth Road, Idridgehay, a few miles west of Belper, was shut in March 2024 "when annual losses approached five-figure sums", an application from owner Tim Tomlinson says.
Mr Tomlinson has applied to Amber Valley Borough Council to convert the Grade II listed pub, which was built in the early 19th Century, into a house, with its car park becoming a garden.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said a decision on the plans will be made by the borough council in the next few months.
Documents filed with the application detail that the former owners of the pub had tried and failed to sell the venue as a going concern more than eight years ago.
During this time the kitchen was stripped out in a bid to turn the premises into a house, which is said to have led to significant community opposition.
After a lack of success the venue closed for a year before reopening in 2017 under the ownership of Mr Tomlinson, who reinstated the kitchen and "invested significantly" in the pub's refurbishment.
The documents went on to say a proposed redesign of the venue to help it separate the dining and drinking areas was rejected by council planners, contributing to its eventual closure.

Reports: Jeremy Strong to play Zuckerberg in 'Social Network Part II'

File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 31 (UPI) -- Succession actor Jeremy Strong is reportedly in talks to portray Facebook co-founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a sequel to the 2010 film The Social Network. The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday that Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin will return to write and helm the new movie, which is inspired by "The Facebook Files," a 2021 series of Wall Street Journal articles penned by Jeff Horwitz. Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg, now 41, in the first film, directed by David Fincher. Eisenberg's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination. The first movie chronicled the founding of Facebook, which officially launched in 2004 ahead of Zuckerberg's 30th birthday. Deadline confirmed Strong, 46, is the top choice to play Zuckerberg in the sequel. The actor would join rumored cast members Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Mikey Madison (Anora), with White possibly portraying Horwitz and Madison as a whistleblower. No formal offers have been made to cast members, according to Variety. Strong is also known for his role as Roy Cohn in The Apprentice. The Roy family: 'Succession' stars through the years Left to right, Jeremy Strong, creator Jesse Armstrong, Nicholas Braun, Sarah Snook, Brian Cox and Alan Ruck of "Succession" appear backstage during the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., on January 5, 2020.
