Sadbrewer Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Pulled down in 1904....Mr Hunsley was the Landlord from at least 1851, he was still there in 1872 ,by 1877 it was Mr Batten, but by 1880 a chap called WH Lattin was the host, Mr Skidmore was in place in 1886. Mr Wakeling took a job as a brewers traveller afterwards, his family later emigrated to the USA, but Fred appears to have stayed in the UK., dying in West Bromwich in 1952. 1851 is the earliest I can find it. In 1915 Fred Wakeling found himself in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytail Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Comparing the 1831 Fairbank map and the 1889 OS Map it doesn't appear the dwelling houses in the old Queens Head Yard from 1831 were still separate premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
