From the Wikipedia article

The New Beehive Inn (for a period in the 1980s known as The Bradfordian) is a former pub in Bradford, England. It was built by Bradford Corporation (the local authority) in 1901 to replace an existing public house of the same name that they had purchased in 1889 and demolished to widen a road. The corporation intended to run the pub itself but instead let it out and sold it in 1926. It has since been run by a number of brewery companies and individuals. The pub contained many features dating to its construction and a significant refurbishment in 1936 and was described by the Campaign for Real Ale as "one of the country's very best historic pub interiors". The pub closed in 2022 and was sold that year. The bar was removed and the original windows were replaced with uPVC. The structure was granted protection as a grade II listed building by Historic England on 13 July 2022. The owners have subsequently applied to convert the pub into offices.

The corporation continued to let the pub to the standing tenants, Samuel Allsopp & Sons. The pub was demolished as part of a scheme to widen Westgate. A replacement structure, the current building, was designed in April 1900 by the Bradford City Surveyor J. H. Cox; it was built in 1901.

Architecture

The ground floor is centred around a lobby running from the front to the rear; with two main rooms on either side of the lobby.

Description

The three-storey building is stone built with a slate roof and faces onto the B6144 road (Westgate). It is double fronted, with the symmetrical façade consisting of a narrow central bay flanked by a wider bay on both sides, topped by elaborate gables. The outer bays contain recessed bow sash windows on the ground floor, with stone mullions. A double stringcourse separates each storey, with the uppermost containing a stone panel showing the construction date of 1901. Gold lettering on this stringcourse gives the pub name. The double front doors are wooden; a glazed semi-circular pub sign extends out above the door and above this is a large lantern. The side elevations are plainer with the…
