Two for the Price of one here, whilst we are looking at The Queens Head which was first recorded in 1847 and closed in 1975, there was adjacent, The Kings Arms, opened in 1851 yet closed by 1910. From 1925, the landlord was Fred Padfield, and when he passed on, his son Sid took over the running of the pub, until 1975 when it was finally closed and converted into a house. I can just remember the Queens Head from my youth, I can remember it as a basic 2 bar pub with a serving hatch for Off-sales, and it was run by the scruffiest publican that I can ever remember! - Further details are scant, but when and if they become known, I will update this cache description

The “Last Orders Please” series of Geocaches has been started by me, Dave Thomas who has the Geocache name LCVreg. It is aimed for the increasingly vast amount of Pubs/Hotels/Cider Houses and the like that have sadly closed over the years. If you would like to add to the series, then please email me on LCVreg@aol.com when your cache has been published and I will then allocate a number. Hopefully, a list of stats and the like will be published in time as long as you all support it!!!
