King's Head, Change Alley 1911

Peter Henry Basson, Pilot Officer (Rear Gunner) 48081

Killed in action 24th July 1942 aged 29.

Peter Henry Basson was born in the September quarter of 1913 in Poole Dorset (GRO Ref: Sept 1913 Poole 5a 477),

the eldest son of Bertie Henry Thomas and Davidina Crockett Basson, nee Methven.

Peter's father had been born in 1879 in Littlemore, Oxfordshire and by the age of 22 was training to be a cook.

Peter's mother was born in 1889 in Edinburgh Scotland.

29-year-old Bertie married 22-year-old Davidina on 28th November 1908 at 118 Princes Street Edinburgh, Scotland.

At the time Bertie was the hotel manager for the George Hotel in George Street Edinburgh.

When the 1911 census was taken, the couple appear as joint managers of the Kings Head Hotel in Change Alley, Sheffield.

Very interesting Richard, where did you find that lot?

I hope you have updated the A to Z with this, as you say I don't think there's one as early

as 1572. Great stuff, now it's my turn to buy you a drink. lol

http://youle.info/hi...ffield/ch13.txt

In 1663, and again in 1668, one Robert Boughton issued penny tokens, and from the fact that they bore, on the reverse, a king's head, crowned, the late Mr. Llewellyn Jewitt thought it probable that Boughton was an innkeeper at the sign of the" King's Head. ' He is mentioned as an Overseer of the Poor in 1663.

It has always been said that in 1716 the landlord of the " King's Head " was Samuel Thompson, who had married the widow of a still earlier occupier, Mr. Dickenson.

Mrs.Thompson took a third husband, one Richard Yeomans, who died in 1729, and both he and his widow managed somehow to obtain what was then thought the great privilege of interment within the Parish Church.

Henry Hancocks was the next tenant. He was there in 1732, at which date the property (including the old gabled house at the east corner of Change Alley and Fruit Market, then held by John Crooke, grocer), having been temporarily alienated, came back into the Webster family, and Leonard Webster (Town Trustee, 1744-1773), besides being owner, seems to have been also landlord, 1745-1768.

From that time to 1801, when he retired in favour of George Howson, James Kay, or Key, kept the inn.

And this brings us to the time of "Billy Wright" whom we have seen coming here from the "George and Dragon"; and under whom, until he handed over the reins in 1824 to his son-in-law, William Woodhead, the " King's Head" was a famous coaching-house.

It was Leonard Webster who cut up the bowling green formerly attached to the "King's Head" into plots, Change Alley being run through them.
