3rd October 1848 Mr. Henry S. Gamble advised his friends and that public, that having been at the house for twelve years, he was removing to the BLACK LION INN. The KINGS HEAD was to close on 11th October.

Address as High Street 1830 & 1845
by 1871 it was Station Road.

It seems possible that a new house was built in Station Road (c1860) and was perhaps known briefly as the DUKES HEAD before returning to the KINGS HEAD.
