A Crewe community pub has breathed "new life" into the 19th century building, with its first refurb in over eight years.

The Imperial, Edleston Road, reopened on Thursday 13 July, following a three-day interior renovation.

Crewe's latest opening pub has had new flooring installed, as well as having a makeover to its bar area.

This refurbishment comes after The Imp installed a new DJ booth, with a redecoration of the pub walls and ladies toilets in May.

The Imp has been run by Lauri and Nick Pass since June 2017 - with the couple celebrating six years in charge this June.

Mrs Pass told Nub News: "We are back open as promised and welcome everyone to come and see our big refurbishment.

"The Imp hasn't had a refurb by for brewery for eight years, so they replaced some of the flooring that was needed.

The renovation comes after The Imp had a premises license application approved in May.

This extended the Crewe pub's opening hours by one hour on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

The Imp is open 3pm to 12pm (Monday to Wednesday), 3pm to 1am (Thursday), 12pm to 3am (Friday and Saturday) and 12pm to 2am (Sunday) (Nub News).
