Turks Head & Old Turks Head Scotland St

Recommended Posts

After further investigation about the following, In the list of pubs I've noticed that for the Turks Head on Scotland St there is only one landlord mention for both pubs, a Mr Benjamin Chappel Pope for the year 1893 but there was a separate pub altogether called the Old Turks Head for the same year and the licence was held by Mrs Christiana Locke, No 114 Scotland St. They are both in the 1893 Kelly's Directory.

Elizabeth Priest had the Old Turks Head in 1818, but by 1825 she was at the New Turks Head. I wonder what the story was, usually a falling out and a landlord going off in a huff.

I think I copied the list from this site some years ago as I my grt grandfather married Isabella Farnsworth. I am unclear about the name change. In 1851 the Census gives "Furtunes of War". interesting street map which gives Nowills the cutlers, still on the same site?
