Queens Head, Timber-framed pub in Monmouth, Wales
The Queens Head stands at 1 St James Street with its distinctive ceiling partly covered in leather and substantial wooden framework throughout the structure.
The building dates from the 16th century and received numerous modifications, including a major reconstruction in 1922 that changed its exterior appearance.
The establishment functioned as the headquarters of Monmouth Fine Ales during the 1980s and later became a central location for live music performances.
The Grade II listed building operated as both a pub and accommodation facility, situated less than 100 meters from the River Wye.
During the English Civil War, the pub witnessed a dramatic event when a failed assassination attempt on Oliver Cromwell resulted in a fatal shooting.
