AN historic pub in Brightlingsea has been given a major refurbishment by its new owners.
Alex and Sarah Capon bought the Railway Tavern, in Station Road, in 2018 and have just completed an overhaul of the popular watering hole.
The free house has a new bar and the garden has also been given a spruce up.
Landlady Sarah Capon said: “We are thrilled at the response from customers old and new since we took ownership of the Railway Tavern.
"The support we have had has been overwhelming.”
The pub supports the Campaign for Real Ale and runs a range of events throughout the year including a three-day cider festival during the early May bank holiday.
The Railway Tavern was originally built as a hotel in 1865 to service the railway and has been operating as a pub for many years.
