An iconic Liverpool pub will reopen next week.
The Vines, on the corner of Lime Street and Copperas Hill, closed for a major revamp in February after changing hands. The pub was purchased by The 1936 Pub Company, which owns a number of venues across the city, including Lark Lane's The Green Man and The Red Lion on Slater Street.
Known as the Big House, the pub dates back to 1867 and was rebuilt in its current style in 1907 by architect Walter Thomas, who had designed The Philharmonic Dining Rooms a few years earlier. A Grade 2* listed building, it is viewed as one of the finest surviving examples of Edwardian pub architecture.
