A fine, old pub providing great contrast to its neighbours, being hemmed in between the 60s Royal Mail office and the modern-day main bus station.

"The Old Queen's Head", Pond Hill, Sheffield
"The Old Queen's Head" is the oldest domestic building in Sheffield. This timber framed building is thought to date from around 1475, although the earliest known written record of it is in an inventory compiled in 1582 of the estate of George Talbot, the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury that included the furnishings of this building, which was then called "The hawle at the Poandes".
As a part of the Earl's estate, it may have been used as a banqueting hall for parties hunting wildfowl in the nearby ponds. These ponds, which formed in the area where the Porter Brook meets the River Sheaf, are now gone, but are commemorated in the local names Pond Street, Pond Hill (formerly Pond Well Hill) and Ponds Forge.
