A FORMER Wetherspoons pub in St Helens is seeking a new leaseholder.
The Running Horses at Chalon Way shut last year after the pub chain chose not to renew the lease for the venue.
The company wanted to focus its efforts on its Glass House pub, also in the St Helens town centre.
The decision left one of the town's biggest venue's empty. The building is in a leisure complex next to Cineworld and Nando's.

The site first opened as Chicago Rock in 2001.
It is now listed on the Rightmove website by Manchester-based Savills.
According to the listing, the property has a premises licence permitting the sale of alcohol until 3am Sunday to Thursday and until 3.30am on Friday and Saturday.
Rental offers are being invited.
It is one of a number of pubs in St Helens which is currently empty.
Formal viewings must be arranged through the joint selling agents CBRE and Savills.
As the Star has reported recently, the lease on former Westfield Street venue Bar Java is being advertised while The Lamb on Corporation Street is up for sale.
The former Punch Tarmey's on Westfield Street, meanwhile, will reopen after the owner, Mikhail Hotel and Leisure Group, agreed to lease the premises.
