This pub was known locally as the 'Park Gate' as it was built on the side of Little Park Gate.
On the 1851 Board of Health map this pub is labelled The KING'S ARMS TAVERN, and also occasionally in newspapers, but it appears to have been predominantly the KING'S HEAD.
The final drinks were poured on the 27th May 1959, and by August it had already demolished for the making of the London Road section of the Inner Ring Road.
Note the longevity of Walter Judd with 52 years at the pub!One of the most popular pub names. The head usually shown on signs is that of Henry VIII but at least eight other monarchs have been shown. Sometimes there are different kings on each side of the sign board. | |||
