The Old Queen's Head on Castle Street.

What can we find out about this pub, where exactly did it stand? and what other information do we have on it?

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.

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.
