The pub became famous thanks to the work of Andrea Dunbar - who was also in the bar when she had a fatal brain haemorrhage at just 29
In 2019, three years after the pub shut, a planning application to demolish The Beacon and build 18 houses in its place was approved byThe Beacon in Buttershaw became famous thanks to the work of Andrea Dunbar, and features in key scenes of her modern classic Rita, Sue and Bob too.
It was demolished shortly after the plans were approved, but work on the houses has not begun and the site on Reevy Road West remains vacant.The plans, by Crag Developments, said the low value of housing in the area meant the homes scheme was not viable. The industrial plan was refused in April after planning officers raised concerns about the lack of a coal mining risk assessment for the site, and claims the units would not provide an “attractive frontage.”A decision on this application is expected next month.
