THE Isle of Wight's Yates bar will close its doors on February 4. 
Last year, plans were submitted to convert Yates, in Newport, into a Walkabout bar but new plans have been put forward to turn it into a Slug and Lettuce bar.
Stonegate Pub Company, a national chain which owns more than 600 pubs across the UK, has submitted the plans.
In a post on Facebook, Yates announced it would be closing on February 4 and thanked customers for their support over the last 15 years.
