A popular Wetherspoon pub has been shut while it undergoes refurbishment works.
Scaffolding can be seen covering The Thomas Ingoldsby in Canterbury following its closure after the Bank Holiday weekend.
The 13-room hotel was shut from Tuesday but is due to open later this week as the building receives some minor renovations.
JD Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “The pub reopens on Friday [August 29].
“It has undergone some redecoration in the pub and new cellar flooring.”
The Thomas Ingoldsby in Burgate, in the heart of the city centre, opened as a Wetherspoon pub in 1997.
The site used to be home to the Courts furniture store.
It underwent a further £2.5 million refurbishment in 2018 and reopened with 13 hotel bedrooms and a second bar upstairs.
The pub gets its name from Richard Harris Barham, who was born in 1788 at 61 Burgate, across the road.
Using the pen name Thomas Ingoldsby, he wrote The Ingoldsby Legends, which first appeared in 1840 in a periodical edited by Charles Dickens.
