Two seafront Norfolk hotels which had been set to shut for good will reopen under new owners next month.
The Grade II listed sites, the Carlton Hotel in Great Yarmouth and the Golden Lion Hotel in Hunstanton will reopen as part of the Coast & Country Hotel Collection, a newly formed group of former Shearings Hotels.
The Shearings Hotels group collapsed last summer owing more than £200m with 2,500 people losing their jobs.

However both hotels are now set to reopen on May 17 with each site hiring around 40 people, with the aim to actively recruit people who previously lost their jobs at the sites.
