EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engaving captures the Old Queens Head Tavern, a historic pub once located at the corner of Queens Head Lane in Islington, London. The image transports us back in time to the early 19th century, as horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians fill the bustling street outside. The tavern, with its distinctive red sign bearing the image of a regal queen, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. The Old Queens Head Tavern was a beloved local establishment, known for its warm hospitality and lively atmosphere. It was a place where people from all walks of life gathered to socialize, share stories, and enjoy a pint of ale or a hearty meal. The tavern's location at the intersection of major roads made it a natural gathering spot, and its reputation extended far beyond the borders of Islington. Sadly, the Old Queens Head Tavern was demolished in 1829, a victim of the relentless march of progress. Despite its loss, the memory of this cherished institution lives on through images like this engaving. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and vibrant community that once thrived in this corner of London. Today, the site where the tavern once stood is a quiet residential area, but the spirit of the Old Queens Head Tavern continues to inspire and captivate those who discover its story.
