Carbrook Hall
Carbrook Hall is a historic house in Sheffield, England. Located in the Attercliffe district of the city, the original building was owned by the Blunt family from 1176. This was rebuilt in 1462, and was bought by Thomas Bright in the late 16th century. His descendant, John Bright, was an active Parliamentarian during the English Civil War, and the building was used as a Roundhead meeting place during the siege of Sheffield Castle. Most of the building was demolished in the 19th century, what survives is a Grade II listed stone wing that was added. It is currently occupied by Starbucks having previously been used as a public house. Planning permission was granted in November 2018 to turn the building into a Starbucks drive-thru and coffeehouse.
In 2019 Starbucks opened a Drive Through Coffee House which maintains all the original features including the plaster mouldings and wood panelling. It is reputed to be haunted with the sounds of children and babies crying and a number of doors opening on their own.
