DISCOUNT pub chain JD Wetherspoon could have a bar in Darwen by January.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands that bosses at the firm want to start renovation work on the former Railway Road Methodist Church in October, with a view to opening early next year.
The company recently announced the pub would be called ‘The Old Chapel’, paying homage to the building’s former use.
The building has been vacant since January 2012.
