A pub in Warton has suddenly closed its doors for a second time in just eight months.
The Clifton Arms, near BAE Systems in Lytham Road, closed this week after the leaseholders said they were unable to keep up with costs.
All staff have been let go as the pub, owned by the Stonegate Group, begins its search for a new leaseholder.
The Clifton Arms previously closed in October last year after former leaseholders Tony Davies and Zoe Shelmerdine vacated the pub after failing to agree to a rent increase imposed by Stonegate.
