March 5th, 2010
What is thought to be Wellington’s oldest trading pub, The White Lion in Crown Street, has been given a new lease of life, after being taken over by new management.
A spokesman for the White Lion said: “Although the inside of the pub was sound, it was in need of a make-over, so we decided to close down for several days, while a team of skilled tradesmen and women worked on the pub. And all praise to them, because in the time that was available to them, they did an absolutely first rate job.”
