One of Merseyside's oldest pubs is set to reopen after it shut down during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Cheshire Lines Inn on King Street in Southport closed down when the licensee at the time decided to leave. Since then it has been left dormant.
The pub's owners, Star Pubs & Bars, have now confirmed that it will be reopening sooner rather than later as the company looks to attract a new licence for the historic establishment. The pub will reopen next week under temporary management for drinks and sport, with the addition of food being offered later down the line.
