One of Bristol's oldest and most iconic pubs has found new owners.
The Llandoger Trow, in King Street, closed a year ago which caused a huge deal of surprise and sadness given its historic value.
It is understood the pub has now been sold and has been bought by the same owners of the Crofters Rights on Stokes Croft and The Lanes on Nelson Street.
Bristol 24/7 reports the new owners “hope to bring this Bristol drinking institution back to life in the near future”.
The iconic building in Bristol's busiest drinking street dates back centuries and has tales of pirates and treasures written in and involving it.
The vast pub is over two floors and you could seat 200 in there.
It went on the market for £1million and estate agent Graham Clifford, at Christie & Co, reckoned there was scope there to turn it back into what it would have been in its heyday - an inn where you could stay the night, or maybe longer.
Visit England claims the King Street inn, which dates back to 1664 and acted as Louis Stevenson's inspiration for the Admiral Benbow pub in Treasure Island, is the oldest in Bristol - although others claim it is not quite as old as The Hatchett Inn in Frogmore Street.
The building's age means it is in need of considerable repair with some estimating the overall cost to be more than £2million.
