The Queens Head

A Memory of Northfleet.

I was born in Springhead Road in 1945, and I went to St Botolphs Primary School from 1950 to 1955. After my Mum, Ethel George, died in 1959 my father, Arthur George, started going to the Queens Head, and in 1962 he married the then landlady, a Wynn O'Leary. We moved into the pub, and I inherited a step brother, John, and a step sister Cherril. I left in 1966 and joined P&O for a few years, but my father stayed on in the pub until about 1976. Wynn had died and he married again before retiring. I now live in Hoo, and it would be great if I could meet up with and talk to anyone about Nothfleet, The Hill, and particularly the Queens Head. I look forward to hearing from you. regards, Ray George.
