On the 18th April 2016, it was announced that The Admiral Collingwood in Ilfracombe had scooped the prize for best new pub at the 2015 National Pub Design Awards. The Admiral Collingwood on Ilfracombe’s seafront has landed the new build award for what judges describe as “an uncompromisingly modern building where the glass dome offers urban presence, while the rest of the main elevation is understated yet sophisticated”.
The Chief Justice of The Common Peas in Keswick has been awarded the Conversion to Pub Use for its Transformation of the Former Magistrates’ Court in Keswick. The Campaign for Real Ale say the controversial re-development of the building has been “handled with real care and restraint and is a worthy example of how to do it well.”
