A historic Liverpool city centre pub is set to undergo a complete refurbishment after being acquired by new owners.
Lime Street-based pub The Vines has now closed its doors until work is due to be completed in the next couple of months. The pub was bought by The 1936 Pub Company, who also own The Green Man on Lark Lane and The Red Lion on Slater Street.
ECHO photographers have captured images of how the pub currently looks before it undergoes refurbishment. The Vines has also been referred to as 'The Big House', and has been situated on the corner of Lime Street and Copperas Hill since 1867.
