The Queens Head Public House

The Queen's Head Public House is a pair of buildings located on Churchgate Street in Bury St Edmunds. Originally, No. 38A served as a house and shop, but it is now connected with No. 39 as a public house. The buildings date from the mid-19th century, although they have an older core. They are constructed of white brick and covered with slate.

The exterior of No. 38A features three storeys and is situated on a corner site. It has two window ranges on both fronts, with sash windows in plain reveals. The windows have flat gauged arches and projecting stone sills, with 12-pane windows on the first storey and 9-pane windows on the second. Between the two fronts, the corner has a 20th-century shop front designed in a traditional style, featuring two small-paned windows flanking a half-glazed entrance door beneath a moulded fascia. On either side of the shop front, there is a 12-pane sash window, and there is also a door on the Churchgate Street front.

No. 39 is a two-storey building with extensive cellars. It has a five-window range, with 12-pane sash windows on both storeys, all set in deep reveals with flat gauged arches and projecting stone sills. The central doorway features a plain semicircular brick arch, a fanlight with a fan motif, and a half-glazed double door.

Inside, the cellars contain some walling made of kidney flint and stone blocks, but they are mainly constructed of 19th-century brick. On the ground storey of both buildings, boxed-in beams suggest a timber core to the structure, although no timber is visible above the ground storey level, and both roofs have been replaced.
