Restoration work is progressing at The Lifeboat Inn in Blackpool, one of the town's oldest buildings, with substantial investment and urgent structural repairs underway to preserve its historic features. The pub, believed to have served as a meeting place for local lifeboat crews, is receiving external refurbishments, including new rendering and window repairs, to ensure its safety and future survival while enhancing the area's economic growth. The project, led by Star Pubs and Bars Ltd, aims to refresh the premises, meet modern commercial standards, and contribute to the community's heritage preservation efforts.
