The Beehive is pictured here in the 1920’s during Emma Hunt’s tenancy.  Stanley Langman’s tenancy commenced on the 5th February 1935, the rent was £80 per annum, which was increased to £150 on the 25th March 1936, and again on the 25th March 1938 to £175.  In 1935 Mr. Langman also paid £234 - 8s - 6d for the furniture at the pub, the Landlords were The Bristol Brewery Georges & Co. Ltd.  The Beehive was re-built in 1935 which would explain the sharp increase in rent in 1936.  The Beehive is still trading.
