The Kings Head was situated at 8 Market Street.  This pub closed in 1932 and is now in residential use. The publican in 1895 was Frederick Chambers.

It was known as the house of the dancing bears – seamen bringing bears ashore to dance in the pub. After a fire and loss of trade due to the departure of the Army and Navy, the pub was sold in 1932 and converted to a general store.
