Bid to convert Wetherspoons site into three separate units
Southport Visiter
|June 19, 2025
THE former Willow Grove Wetherspoon building on Lord Street in Southport town centre is due to be divided into three new units in a bid to revitalise the site.
The Grade II-Listed building at 387-389 Lord Street, which is believed to have been built in the 1880s, has been vacant since Wetherspoon closed the pub in April 2023.
Wetherspoon still operates the Sir Henry Segrave pub at the southern end of Lord Street and has also had planning permission granted to to build a new 30-bed hotel on Lord Street.
The owners of 387-389 Lord Street say that “there have already been enquiries made” with a real demand for smaller units but little appetite among operators to take on the whole building.
A previous marketing exercise said that “the site has an exciting flexibility to reopen as a pub, bar, restaurant, or social / immersive leisure venue”.
