New Beehive Inn, Grade II listed pub in Bradford, England
New Beehive Inn is a Grade II listed pub featuring a symmetrical stone facade with curved sash windows, elaborate gables, and a slate roof spanning three floors. The building contains guest rooms in the main structure as well as additional accommodations in separate adjacent buildings.
The building was constructed in 1901 by Bradford Corporation to replace an earlier pub, first operating as a beerhouse. In 1906 it received a full alcohol license and developed into a full inn.
The interior preserves original Edwardian elements with wood paneling and traditional leather seating throughout the rooms. A central bar area connects different spaces, reflecting how a quality inn was designed to serve guests in the early 1900s.
The pub sits in the heart of Bradford and is easy to reach on foot by following the main streets. Visitors should know this is a historic building with traditionally separated rooms, so the layout takes some getting used to.
The tap room still features its original terrazzo flooring and contains a system of bell pushes used by customers. These pushes once called waiting staff to take drink orders, a curious remnant of how service worked in early 1900s establishments.
