A CONVERTED pub has won a design award from real ale group Camra.
The Winter Gardens, a JD Wetherspoon pub in Harrogate, which is part of the Winter Gardens complex, was highly commended in the National Pub Design Awards.
Judges for the awards, which are run in association with the English Heritage and Victorian Society, said it was a marvellous and spacious building.
They said in their citation that JD Wetherspoon and architects Tuffin Ferraby Taylor had worked together to bring the historic building back to life for public enjoyment.
JD Wetherspoon regional development manager Paul Gillings said: "The Winter Gardens forms part of a large redevelopment of a landmark building within Harrogate and we believe that people in the town have been impressed with the transformation of the former building into a JD Wetherspoon pub."
