It seems to be on Google map as Beehive Rd and is off Old Rd, Brampton.

I am interested in Beehive yard too as have ancestors who were born there.  Beehive Rd is still there, it is a street of terraced houses(to me they look approx 1900's ish, but I'm no expert).  I am not sure if I'm correct but I think the yard was a different place as I have seen photos on picturethepast.org.uk which show cottages from Beehive Yard in 1939 and the description says'before they were demolished'.  To see the photos just put'beehive yard' into the search box on the picture the past website.  There are also some photos of beehive type kilns, which the yard/street were probably named after.
There is a fair amount of greenspace in the area now-could that have been where the cottages were?
It's one of the things I've been meaning to clarify but haven't got round to yet.  Please let me know if you get any further!
