Description
The Queen's Head is a late 18th-century building, likely dating to the 1780s or 1790s. It is a two-storey building with four windows, faced in roughcast render. The roof is tiled, and the windows are set in plain reveals. To the west of the main block is a lower, single-storey annexe, containing one window, and a dormer window is visible in the roof. The front has two doors, each set within an alcove and topped with a blind fanlight. The building forms part of a group of six buildings (Nos 2 to 20, even) along Woburn Street.
