Work is underway on a new Wetherspoons pub after its opening day was pushed back.
The Master Mariner in New Brighton was due to open at the end of August after the pub was closed for major renovations. These would involve the expansion of the pub into a neighbouring premises, the building of the former Lacy's Bar.
However, the opening and expansion, which will make the pub 50% bigger, was delayed due to it being in a "poor state". JD Wetherspoons said at the time that the opening had been delayed "indefinitely" due to the existing pub being in a "poor state and as a result the project needs to be reviewed".
