Why was the Bank of England One Pound note demonetised in the 80s?

The place in the currency previously occupied by the One Pound banknote was taken by the equivalent value coin, so the relatively expensive to produce and easily damaged banknote was progressively withdrawn from circulation from 1985 and demonetised in 1988.
What happens if the bank of England decides that a design muist be replaced?
The Bank of England changes the design of its banknotes regularly to foil counterfeiters and to prevent foreigners or terrorists from stockpiling banknotes to the detriment of the British economy. Once the decision has been made to change an existing banknote, or to issue a new denomination, a committee of the concerned parties meets to discuss what they want. Submissions or suggestions are sometimes taken from the public. As do many countries, it has become the trend to put the images of famous or historically significant persons on banknotes. When the decision on a new design has been reached, it is passed to the Chief Cashier who has the final say on any banknote design. The new banknote is released into circulation usually with an announcement that the old banknote it replaces will be withdrawn and demonetised on a particular date in the near future.
