The Conservative Club, Millom has been improved thanks to the Pride of Place building grants scheme.
More than £750k has been invested in improving the appearance of commercial premises across the borough.
Mike Starkie, Mayor of Copeland, launched the scheme in 2017 and so far 113 grants have been awarded.
The scheme encouraged businesses to apply for up to £5,000 for improvements to shopfronts, windows and frames, doorways, external decoration and signage.
Grants were awarded for up to 50 per cent of the work costs.
