More about this scene
Built as a town house for the lead mine-owner Charles Bathurst of Arkengarthdale c1720, its newly-fashionable hand-made bricks, three-storey height and eight bays must then have made it very prominent in the Market Place. It was converted into the King's Head almost immediately, and remains the town's largest hotel. The doorway on the extreme right served as the bar entrance, and another doorway was inserted to the left when Lloyds Bank opened here c1920. King Street on the left was so named not from this hotel but from the King's Arms Inn which stood on the site until 1813, when it was demolished to make way for a more level access for carriages into the Market Place at the height of Richmond's Georgian prosperity.
