It used to have railings and a porch with seats, altered in the early 30's. The London coach left here in the 19th century, where it used to leave The Queens Head at 7:30 am for The Bull, Holborn, returning at 3:30, arriving back in Pinner around 6pm. Early in the 20th century the licensee Dawson Billows kept a bear in the stables, sometimes he was seen taking it out for a walk." <br /><br />As the picture shows the date 1705, and the porch with seats, there can be little doubt that it is the right identification.Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180178794366214284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992381256386825587.post-66223892560392599572013-05-09T15:59:05.802+01:002013-05-09T15:59:05.802+01:00This looks like The Queen's Head Pinner Middle...This looks like The Queen's Head Pinner Middlesex.
