Queen's Head Pub

Born a Brummie
Does anyone have a picture of the Queens's Head 208 Great Lister Street please? I am helping a friend with her family history and her Grandfather had this pub.

I know she would be delighted if I could come up with a picture of the pub.

Many thanks :)
 
Sorry Rowan & Lyn

but I don't have a photo, in fact I had never heard of the pub before reading this. Just a little research soon told me that it had closed as a beer retailer pre 1936. I don't think it ever held a full public house licence but others may be able to help on that. All I know is that by 1936 it was a Birmingham Co-operative Grocery Department.
 
In the 1911 census when Godfrey Duckitt was landlord, The Queens Head was described as a beerhouse. It had gone by the 1932 and there in the 1921 Kellys, but the address had listed occupants on the elctoral roll till sometime between 1925 & 1927 (though it does not state it was then a pub), so presumably it ceased to ve a pub and was converted shortly after 1925
 
Thank you all for your replies.

The pub was still selling beer in the early 40's as my friend recalls going to see her grandfather when she was small but by then she thinks it was just an outdoor.

Godfrey was her Grandfather.

Thank you all again.
