I have only found this mentioned the once so far in 1864 when it was part of Shepherd and Mares, the predecessors of Shepherd and Neame. It later became part of the Style and Winch which I believe it was still under on closure.

However, I also have reference to the "Queen's Head" at Kingsnorth, and another "Queen's Head" and nearby Ashford, and this may refer to one of those houses.

From an email received, 28 November 2021.

"Hi there, I can assure you there was a pub or beer house in Queens Road, Willesborough, the building is still there and known as Queens Head Cottages divided into 4 separate dwellings (2-5). It is situated directly behind the now demolished "White Horse Inn." The pub was still in use in the 1950s. Hope this info helps.
