The Kings Head was situated at 15 Back Street. This pub closed in 2009 and is now in residential use. It was present by 1614 when it was mentioned in a boundary dispute between Sir Henry Hobart of St Faith's Manor and Lord Dacre of Horsford
I was taken there often in my childhood, often sitting in the back room with a red drink and threepenny bag of crisps while my grandparents sat inside, my grandad playing cribbage with the men, my grandmother chatting with the women. I recall once walking the counter as a young child to draw a raffle. The publican’s daughter, a beautiful girl a few years older than me, was a regular visitor to our home, and often my companion as we played in the yard in summer, making dens from beer crates. She was a bridesmaid at a family wedding.
