Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Behind the Three Bulls' Heads there was the Percy Street Brewery, which was run by Henry Rudolphus Ritzema from 1850 to 1853. The brewery was taken over by George Southern for a short time. The brewery, which had a two-horse-power steam engine, could produce 35 half barrels per brewing. In 1984 Bass owned the Three Bulls Heads. They wanted to extend the pub into the amusement arcade next door but the late eighteenth century brickwork of the pub was found to be unsafe and had to be demolished. What is there now is a complete rebuild.
