Birch Hall Inn, Grade II listed pub in Beck Hole, England.
The Birch Hall Inn is a Grade II listed pub housed in a sandstone building in Beck Hole, North Yorkshire. The structure contains two compact bar rooms and a traditional sweet shop between them, with views toward the Murk Esk river.
The building began as two cottages in the 18th century and transformed into a pub during the 1860s when ironstone mining brought growth to Beck Hole. This shift shows how local spaces adapted to meet the needs of expanding communities.
The pub preserves its interior layout from the 1930s and appears on the national registry of historic pub interiors for its authentic character. Visitors walk through spaces that look much as they did generations ago, reflecting how locals have gathered here for over a century.
The pub opens only from Wednesday through Sunday, so plan your visit during these days. It serves locally brewed Yorkshire beers alongside simple food options like sandwiches and traditional meat pies.
Tucked between the two bar rooms sits a working sweet shop that still sells traditional sweets and postcards to visitors. This combination of a functioning shop and pub under one roof remains uncommon in modern pubs.
