The Queen's Head in Pinner was once a plastered building dated 1705, though the origins were much earlier. It bears the date 1580. It used to have railings and a porch with seats, altered in the early 1930s. The London coach used to leave here in the 19th century at 7:30 am for The Bull, Holborn, returning at 3:30, and arriving back in Pinner around 6pm. Early in the 20th century the licensee Dawson Billows kept a bear in the stables, sometimes he was seen taking it out for a walk.
