Historic pub to reopen under new management

An award-winning 18th-century pub in Birmingham is to reopen just three months after it was closed.
The Anchor in Digbeth closed in June due to "financial constraints", with dozens of customers "devastated" by the news.
Publican Peter Connolly, who runs nearby music venue Nortons Digbeth, said it was a "great honour" to take on the Grade II listed pub, which he will reopen in August.
"The Anchor is a hugely significant pub in terms of tradition and heritage. It's a must-visit for cask fans, having won CAMRA pub of the year three times," he said.
He said he wanted to "restore the city gem to its original glory" by reviving its interior and exterior features, including the original bar fittings.
Mr Connolly plans to hold regular live music events and screen a range of sports at the pub, which dates back to 1797.
Owner of the pub Gerry Keane said that Mr Connolly shared his love for the building and looked forward to seeing the pub develop over the years.
