The Queens Head
Another slide restoration and this one was very faded but I think I've done OK getting the details out.
Having seen what it was I found out a little about it. Firstly, it's in the High Street in Pinner and was taken in December 1981. The cars of the time are clearly on show and the Rover in the foreground I always associate with as the Prime Minister's official car. There is a lovely Christmas tree on the right of the image, and the shops have made an effort with festive lights too.
There has been a pub (or inn) on the site since 1540, but it is thought that it may have been such an establishment some time before. It was known as 'The Crown' until about 1715. Certainly the building is of great age, as the cellars date back to the 12th Century.
The real claim to fame is that Eleanor Nelson (Horatio's only daughter) was killed outside by a bolting horse in 1872 and it's said that her ghost still roams the rooms of the pub.
