The pub has won a prestigious award
Forgotten moments inside a historic Liverpool pub show how life used to be there before its stunning refurbishment - which has now been recognised in a prestigious award.
Following the announcement, we've revisited our archives and taken another look back at the history of the pub. Fascinating images show how it used to look in years gone by. These images, courtesy of our archives, Mirrorpix, are bound to stir some memories. Last year, The Vines reopened after a stunning revamp. But these brilliant photos offer a glimpse into what life was like inside the historic venue back in the 1980s.
The pub was bought by The 1936 Pub Company, which owns a number of venues across the city including Lark Lane's the Green Man and The Red Lion on Slater Street. New owner Rob Gutmann was in communication with the Walker Art Gallery to keep them up to date with the plans for the iconic pub. "The city once was home to the finest gin palaces and public houses in the world, and still has a number of noteworthy and historic pubs, but it is our aim to play a role in restocking the city with great examples of vintage British public houses and reverse a tide that has seen multiple pub closures down the decades."
"The cask ales are absolutely flying out as expected, and the cocktails will probably take precedence later in the evening. People were walking around as if it were a National Trust site taking photographs."
