Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer. 13 August 1955
Of 52 Yorkshire inns scheduled by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government during the past year as being outstanding historic or architectural importance, 27 are situated in York.
Fifteen of York's inns have been placed on the statutory list, meaning that they cannot be demolished or altered without notice, and the remainder of the 27 are on the supplementary list, and will be preserved as long as other and wider interests are not unduly affected.
The Queens Head dated from the 15th century; a timber framed building. Pictures and information are at the British History site ; it was next door to the Nags Head
This is another of the Inns of outstanding historic or architectural importance which has now been demolished, and in 1964.
