Couple take over reins at Morecambe town centre pub

Jackie and Chris Stobbart, new managers of Bar 1866 in Morecambe

A local couple have taken over as the new managers at a Morecambe town centre pub.

Chris and Jackie Stobbart from Lancaster are the new bosses at Bar Eighteen 66 on Queen Street.

Chris and Jackie are experienced publicans who previously ran the Penny Bank in Lancaster, the Plough at Galgate and the New Inn at Clapham.

Bar Eighteen 66 was previously known for years as the Bradford Arms.

The pub, pictured below, is run by Proper Pubs owned by Admiral Taverns.

Chris and Jackie said they were hoping to bring a community feel to the pub and will continue its tradition of live sport on TV and live music.

Lancaster City FC fans will know Chris from his time as reserves manager, when the Dolly Blues were managed by ex-Premier League footballer Darren Peacock. He has also played Super League darts.
