A pub created inside three old fishermen's cottages has been nominated for a top national award. The Windmill in Southport has been named Merseyside Pub and Bar of the Year in the National Pub and Bar Awards.
The pub industry awards are considered among the most prestigious with only 94 venues across the country making the list. The Windmill, described as a 'typical English pub', first opened in Southport in 1833.
The building originally was three fisherman's cottages but later expanded under various brewers. In November 2018, Neil Walsh and his partner Tom became custodians of The Windmill.
