Our Liverpool: Final chapter in sight for 'eyesore' pub with £300k price

Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.

A price has now been put on the Master Mariner in New Brighton, a Wetherspoons pub that has become the target of controversy after the pub chain pulled out of plans for a £3m revamp. In April the pub confirmed they would be selling the land branded an "eyesore" by locals, including the site of the former Lacy's Bar, demolished as part of their initial plans.

Angela Eagle, MP for Wallasey, called the decision to pull out "incredibly frustrating" saying the pub has been left in a "far worse off" position than before. The pub, and adjacent land,has now been listed with an auctioneers, with a guiding price of £300,000 to £350,000.
