CAMRA national director Julian Hough: 'The Pub Design Awards celebrate British pubs with truly memorable designs'

Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has unveiled the winners of the Pub Design Awards 2013, with pubs as diverse as a bar made from shipping containers and a railway platform conversion achieving accolades.

The winners include the York Tap on York train station, converted from an old model railway museum, for Conversion to Pub Use; the Albion Ale House in Conwy, north Wales for English Heritage Conservation award and joint-winner of Joe Goodwin Awards for Best Street Corner Local, along with the Cat’s back in Putney, south-west London.

The Hall & Woodhouse in Portishead, Somerset, won the Newbuild Award – the first time the award has been presented since 2006 - for its modern marina bar constructed from recycled shipping containers. Meanwhile, the White Swan in Shawell, Leicestershire, won the Refurbishment award.

CAMRA national director Julian Hough said: “The Pub Design Awards celebrate British pubs with truly memorable designs. Whether it is a building that has been converted to a pub, a conservation project on a historical structure or a brand new build with cutting edge design aesthetics, CAMRA congratulates the pub owners, architects, and designers who have contributed to these pubs being named the best in the UK.”
