The Queen Adelaide is named after the wife of William IV who came to the throne in 1831. The Queen was one of the benefactors of St George's Church. Before the pub was built around 1830 the site was occupied by a small factory making shuttles and picks for the local cotton factories. Its first landlord was Orlando Oldham who also ran a large cork factory in Gee Cross. The tattoo parlour next to the Queen Adelaide was previously the Double D Cafe Image The cafe has moved further up the road Image
