com Also known for it's huge pier, Southport is a popular seaside resort for holidaymakers, with plans to transform the coastline with a new water attraction . And the town's Wetherspoons is set to open 30 rooms on top of the hotel. A new application submitted to the local council shows the new rooms on the first, second and third floors.
The ground floor would be turned into a hotel reception with a dedicated entrance, along with bar and kitchen upgrades. The first, second and third floors would include the bedrooms, as well as a "plant room" and even tower suite. The application states: "By taking into account history and heritage, they are able to meaningfully revive and restore existing structures to become spaces that are open and inviting to the public.
" It is yet to be given the go-ahead, so no official opening has been confirmed. The building dates back to 1880, although the pub opened in 1995.
