im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
we are now using a backup solution
Queens Head
- Thread starter Astoness
- Start date
Lyn
In the 1880 directory the queens Head is no 112. but this would refer to 1879. In the 1883 directory (referring to 1882) it is no 1. In both cases Joseph Bagnell is listed as occupant. Interesting that no Joseph Bagnall, or apparently any Bagnall, in the 1881 census (according to ancestry) lived in burberry st, and no Joseph elsewhere listed himself as publican

Gone, but not forgotten.
Hi ADELE
After a quick look in just one Kelly's Directory (1937) I find
A Queens Arms in Victoria Rd
A Queens Hotel in Church Lane
A Queens Tavern in Queens Rd
But no Queens Head. Of course there may be one at a later date or in fact earlier. What sort of a time frame are you looking at. I will take a look at some other dates later.

I lived in Queens Rd, Aston and the Queens Tavern was our local in 40s and 50s, sadly long since gone. I seem to remember it was known as the Top Queens, which would infer there was another at bottom of road ??? Eric
