An afternoon in beloved pub The Beehive that's like a 'local in town'

It's around 2.30pm on a Friday and The Beehive is in full swing.

Donna Summer's 'This Time I Know It's For Real' blasts out over the speakers as drinkers fill out the compact Paradise Street pub. People in the neighbouring businesses and offices still have more than three hours of their working week to get through, but the weekend here has already begun.

The pub has stood in the city centre for more than 100 years and has a friendly community of regulars. At the bar is Chris, 64, who has been drinking here since he was 18.
