Marked: Sheaf River, Thomas Lindley, John Withy, William Swallow, John Powell, William Thompson, John Barber, Samuel Parkin, Thomas Haigh, George Steade, William Staniforth, Thomas Hugh, Matthew Habershon, and Robert Calvert.

 

On the Plan of the Queens Head drawn for T. Rawson & Co., Samuel Parkin is marked on the property next to the Queens Head. 

Searched Picture Sheffield website for: Samuel Parkin Maps and result of which is this plan. 

Samuel Parkin is marked next to two  properties marked Thomas Haigh, one of which is probably the building named Queens Head on the 1815 plan.

The Location of the Queens Head measured for Thomas Rawson in 1815 and in all probability the property was there before 1815; (see Widow Crooks Croft plan in the previous post) but not necessarily a Public House.

From Edmunds earlier post: Thomas Battey and trustee leased the Queens Head from Thomas Rawson, 21st December 1818; therefore it's probable this Queens Head opened before 1822.

Sheaf Street looking towards junction with Broad Street and Corn Exchange, premises include (from left) No 20, Queen's Head and No 14, Horse and Jockey Hotel. (Horse and Jockey also marked on 1850's map above)

It still doesn't answer the question as to when The (Old) Queens Head in Pond Street area first became a pub.

Another question, to complicate it further did Thomas Rawson own both the "Queens Head"
