21 College St

The old Beehive was built in the early or mid 19th century. The Listed Buildings Register suggests that the license was transferred here from the building at number 50 about 1858.
The main door (with 6 sunk panels) leads into a passageway with a similar doorway at the rear and apparently once led to the public house premises and stabling in the yard.
