The Queens Head was situated at 17 Front Street. This grade-II listed pub is now in residential use.
The Grade II Listing describes it as a late 18th Century building but when it was a working pub the lintel over the back door carried the date of 1709. So, it was actually an early 18th Century building. It has now been converted to private housing.
