The King’s Head lost its Temple Street address in the early 1870’s when Victoria Street was made, this photograph shows the pub during the first world war (1914 - 18) when it was tied to the Ashton Gate Brewery. The King’s Head is still trading.  On the 25th March 1887 the King’s Head was taken on a 14 year lease at a rent of £30 per annum by James Lockley, brewer of Lewin’s Mead.  The lease was one of 22 sold by James Lockley to the Bristol United Breweries Limited on the 25th March 1892, for the total sum of £11,000.
