The Camels Head was situated on Wolseley Road. Built in 1825, it was closed and demolished in 1988 to make way for road widening. It was known as The Submarine at time of closure.
I worked behind the bar of The Camel’s Head pub in Plymouth for a year or two in the mid-1970’s.  Ernie and Freda Holderness were the managers (they later went to run a pub in Albert Road, Plymouth) and a lady called Ethel was the, ‘postman’.  Monday was darts night in the public bar.  On Thursday evenings in the lounge there was a folk singer and on Friday and Saturday nights there was a DJ.
