Northgate
Canterbury
Only one instance of this found at present, and with other "Queen's Head"
pubs also being listed in Canterbury it's easy to get confused. However,
this is the only one listed as being in Northgate, and it is definitely not
the "Queen's Arms" as that is also
mentioned in the same passage below.
The other pubs with the same name are the "Queen's
Head" addressed as 15 High Street, but that changed in 1828. The "Queen's
Head" addressed as Longport, but only in known in 1669-70, and the "Queen's
Head" at 24 Watling Street, nearly 3 miles away.
