A Liverpool city centre pub that was the backdrop for many happy memories over the years is set to close its doors next month.
The Liverpool will close in April this year when the pub's current lease comes to an end. Stonegate, which owns and runs hundreds of pubs across the country, will not be renewing the current team's lease, so the much loved premises is bidding farewell to James Street.
The pub has been operated by the same family for 30 years since former owner Val Smith took over with her late husband Peter in the early 1990s. The pub has been operated by Val's daughters Paula Billingsley and Yvonne Taylor since their mum retired in 2019.
