Plans have been lodged with the local council for a popular Co Down bar to be demolished then rebuilt after a fire gutted the premises earlier this year.
The Anchor Bar in Newcastle was destroyed in an accidental fire in January, with more than a dozen fire appliances extinguishing the blaze in the early hours of the morning. The bar has remained closed ever since.
The bar has been a feature of the seaside town, popular with locals and tourists for more than a century. Now, proposals have drawn up under the name of Anchor Bar Ltd and lodged with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.
