There has been a £200k refurbishment of the historic building
One of Blackpool ’s oldest pubs has re-opened following a £200,000 investment which included rebuilding the front of the venue which was at risk of collapse. The Lifeboat Inn on Foxhall Road was closed for five months while extensive work was carried out to replace and rebuild the front of the historic property.
The couple are already well-known as licensees of another town centre historic hostelry The Mitre on West Street, with this month marking their 15 years in charge there. Kerry has been in hospitality all her life, with her parents running hotels and cafes including the restaurant and diner next door to The Mitre.
“We’re delighted to be taking The Lifeboat on as it’s a Blackpool institution bringing enjoyment to many people year-round. With 15 years at The Mitre, it’s quite an anniversary present taking on a second pub, but it’s perfect for us, as we love doing what we do.” Star Pubs business development manager Richie Roberts added: “We’re delighted to be giving The Lifeboat back to the community. Rebuilding the frontage was a major feat and not for the faint hearted as we discovered that two thirds of it was patched up with beach pebbles and other local material.
