One of Wakefield city centreโ€™s most distinctive historic pubs is receiving a major ยฃ100,000 restoration.

Its famous Art Nouveau tiled frontage is being cleaned and repaired, while windows are repainted, old fixing holes filled and surrounding historic paving restored.

The transformation comes ahead of the pubโ€™s three-day beer festival from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September, featuring more than 50 ales from over 20 breweries.

Itโ€™s fantastic to see real investment being made in one of Wakefieldโ€™s traditional pubs while protecting the features that make it so special. Whoโ€™s looking forward to seeing the finished result?
