Ponytail Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Widow Crook's croft [Sheaf Street] with the steam engine, grinding wheel and sundry tenements lately erected, [1787-1796] https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;arc04191&pos=6&action=zoom&id=104961 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.

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. From Sheffield History A-Z Public Houses: Queen's Head, 20 Sheaf Street, Park. Open. 1822 Closed. Span. Comments: 1825, 14 Sheaf Street. 1822 John Taylor (Crook Croft) 1825 John Taylor 1828 - 29 John Taylor [ 14 Sheaf Street ] 1830 Sarah Taylor [ 11 Sheaf Street ] 1833 Sarah Taylor 1837 Samuel Wolstenholme 1839 Samuel Wolstenholme [ 20 Sheaf Street, Broad Street ] 1841 Martha Wolstenholme 1845 - 46 Samuel Staniforth 1849 Samuel Staniforth 1851 - 52 Samuel Staniforth 1854 Samuel Staniforth 1856 Samuel Staniforth 1859 Samuel Staniforth 1861 to 1865 Samuel Staniforth 1868 John Smith 1871 John Smith 1876 John Smith 1879 John Smith 1881 John Smith 1883 John Smith 1887 to 1889 John Smith 1893 Mrs. Mary Smith 1895 -6 Mrs. Mary Smith 1898 William Slater 1900 to 1902 William Slater 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) s19354 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
