BOSSES at JD Wetherspoon have revealed that the pub they plan to open in Darwen will be called The Old Chapel.

The pub chain completed the purchase of the former Railway Road Methodist Church in May, and have planning permission and a licence to sell alcohol.

The firm had not set a date to begin work to renovate the pub but were expected to open in the autumn, if not before.

The building was most recently the discount store A&M Bargains, which closed in January 2012.
