Description
The Queen’s Arms public house is an impressive corner building in a good location, and remains relatively unspoilt. The pub was established in 1855 by manager Joseph Smith of Manor Brewery. In 1882 it had been sold to John Graham, and remained in the family until 1939. By 1963 the building was the last remaining on Simpson Terrace. The pub is two storeys, and is rendered with an arched doorway. LOCAL LIST
