Black Bull Hotel

The pub, in 2008

The Black Bull Hotel is a historic pub in Reeth, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed in the mid 18th century, as a pair of houses. The shop front in the left-hand house was added later in the century. The building was grade II listed in 1952.[1] One of its later landlords removed the render from the facade, but was instructed by the North Yorkshire Moors National Park Authority to replace it; in protest, he turned the pub sign upside down, a tradition which has been maintained.[2]

The pub is built of whitewashed stone with a stone slate roof. It has three storeys and seven bays. On the ground floor, towards the left, is a doorway with a plain surround and a moulded cornice. To the right is a double-bowed shopfront containing a central window with Tuscan pilasters and a segmental pediment, and to its right is a doorway with plain surround and a moulded open pediment. The other windows are sashes.[1][3]
