On 10th July 2003 time was called on the Lord Byron in Shelley Road. The 1960s local was demolished and replaced with a 41-bedroom old people's home. A campaign and petition against closure by regulars, who considered the Byron a "vital community resource and popular meeting place", was ignored by councillors and planners who, to quote the local press, "felt that the loss of the pub could be accomodated by other facilities in the area, such as the Highfield pub". In addition, they said, the proposed residential home "is considered to likely to improve the streetscape".
