TWO businessmen have bought one of the Liverpool business district’s best- know pubs – the Lion Tavern, in Moorfields.
Supported by a £65,000 European Investment Bank loan from NatWest, Michael Black and Sean Porter have acquired the leasehold.
Built in 1841, the tavern is named after the Lion steam engine that ran with Stephenson’s Rocket.
Mr Black said: “The Lion is one of the finest Victorian pubs remaining in Liverpool.”
