Not sure why Joseph McKenna missed this one out in his book.....
Queen's Arms - Bradford Street Deritend [plan attached]
Here you can see the Queen's Arms hemmed in by the large Rolling Mills and the Patent Enamel Company, the latter were manufacturers of enamelled advertising signs. Smaller industrial firms were right next to the pub. Adjacent to the beer house was the fire iron makers William Turner and Sons. These properties were on the north side of Bradford Street between Rea Street and Birchall Street.
The name of this pub may provide a clue to its opening date. It was named after Queen Victoria, the only child of King George III's fourth son, Edward, Duke of Kent, and Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe-Coburg, sister of Leopold, king of the Belgians. Born in Kensington Palace, she was crowned following the death of her uncle William IV in 1837. She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Goth in 1840. They had nine children. Well, what else is there to do in Balmoral when it's raining?
Richard and Martha Kinman were mine hosts at the Queen's Arms in 1841. Richard Kinman also worked as a carpenter. He was succeeded by his son Thomas who worked in a similar field as a wood turner. Born in Knowle around 1822 he kept the Queen's Arms with his wife Sarah. They had married early and initially set up home together in Belmont Row.
By 1860 George and Betsy Taylor were running the Queen's Arms. The former machinist and his wife had earlier lived in Warner Street. The couple later moved to the Roebuck Inn at Lower Hurst Street. In an Aston ratebook complied in 1886 the William Froggatt-owned Queen's Arms was recorded as a retail beerhouse, brewhouse, workshop and premises. Harry Field was the licensee who paid the annual rates of 14s.3d.
