The frontage of the Queen's Head is a fine example of inter-war pub architecture. Replacing an older beer house that was demolished in 1936, this building was erected during the following year. Clean lines and understatement were the order of the day for a symmetrical design. The neighbouring Victorian properties in this photograph were demolished and replaced by modern housing but the Queen's Head survived to serve as the resident's local. Henry Hunt, known locally as Harry, was the licensee in the late 19th century. He kept the Queen's Head with his Netherton-born wife Mary. Harry's niece Jane Johnson worked as a barmaid in the pub.
