AN historic pub has re-opened its doors after a £125,000 renovation.
The Old Mother Redcap in Blackburn Road, Blackburn, re-opened last week.
The pub is steeped in history and takes its name from a 16th Century hag who was said to roam nearby moors.
In 1841 it was the setting for a historic meeting held to oppose the repeal of the Corn Laws.
Today the pub is part of the Brewer's Fayre chain. The improvements have also led to a new menu in the pub's restaurant and a wider selection of drinks.
