On our first ever boating trip to Northwich, we discovered this great little town centre pub, The Beehive Inn.
This was on the evening of Saturday 2nd September 2006 and we had something of a pub crawl around Northwich with The Beehive being the most memorable of the hostelries we visited.
We were next in Northwich on the evening of Sunday 5th September 2010. This time we were on the Trent & Mersey Canal on our way home after a trip to Manchester. We were late mooring at the Old Broken Cross (#213), missed the food and so ventured into Northwich in search of sustenance.
This was late on in the evening and it was difficult to tell whether it had been open earlier, or not.
Our most recent visit to Northwich (via the River Weaver) was on the evening of Saturday 13th August 2016 and this is the sad sight that we found.
The Beehive Inn is no more, but at least the estate agents who are now located there have retained (as much as possible) the frontage of the old pub.
Such a shame and the Barbers next door looks like it's seen better days now
