Framed Print of The Queen's Head, an old inn in High Street, Southwark, about to be demolished, 1895
The Queen's Head, an old inn in High Street, Southwark, about to be demolished, 1895. Southwark was from mediaeval times celebrated for its fine old inns, and it is unfortunate that so few have come down to us, and still further, that one of the most interesting so remaining is doomed...The Queen's Head...existed as far back as 1587; but the same inn really was known a century earlier, for in 1452, as the Crossed or Crowned Keys, it belonged to the Poyning family...in 1529 the King used it as a store-place for harness or armoury. It is supposed that as the power of Papacy declined, the name was changed to that it has held ever since. The most noted owner the Queen's Head ever had was the very celebrated John Harvard, sometime student of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. This great Puritan and emigrant to New England was the founder of Harvard University, of world-wide fame...The [London] County Council has examined the walls, stripped away some plastering, and laid bare the fine old oak beams and stonework, but these are not, apparently, in a condition to allow it to remain. We have illustrated the inn from the old gateway, quiet after the roar of traffic in Borough High Street, where it has stood for more than five centuries'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
