Don't you remember the story?
It wasn't a listed building, but when the full plans for the Arndale were made public, people realised the pub (then empty) was under threat. Listed Protection was applied for, but that was on a friday. That weekend, the bulldozers moved in, so by monday - when the decision was to be made - there was nothing but rubble. That was about 1985 or so.
It's a similar trick out traveller friends now use in setting up sites without planning permission.
