The new team at a Morecambe seafront bar are preparing to reopen its doors.
Tommy Rowson has taken over as licensee of Harry's Bar on Marine Road Central and the pub will reopen on Thursday May 1.
Tommy will run the pub with his partner Amy Eccles and a team of bar and kitchen staff.
Originally from the Isle of Wight, he moved to the area a few years ago and has a background in hospitality.

"I've always worked in bars, hospitality and holiday parks," he said.
"I was out in Morecambe one day last summer, came for a drink into here, and thought it was a really nice busy bar.
"Then in December/January we were driving past again and saw it was up for rent, and so we thought, why not? Let's see what we can do."
"We've got some plans to keep it open in the winter and try to make it a year all-round place.
"In the summer we will be focussing on live music, snacky food and making the most of the beer garden while the sun's out.
"In the winter it will be pub food, quiz nights, bingo, that kind of thing."
Harry's Bar will be part of this year's Morecambe Music Festival, running from July 10 to 13.
Tommy said that although economic times are challenging for the licensed trade, "with everything that's going on in Morecambe, I think it could be one of the best times to get in, give it a go, and hopefully build it into something fantastic that's here for the foreseeable future."
