My relations were publicans in the Queens Arms Pub, West Street, Winshill. Does anyone have any information about the pub, or where West Street is,] as there seems to be some confusion about 'old' West street and 'new' West street.
Thanks for any help

Hi Alli, the Library closest to Winshill may have a photo of the pub  worth asking them.

Alfie,
The houses in old West street were demolished in about 1970. The Queen's Arms was left standing however, and later became a fish and chip shop. Mr and Mrs Cowley ran the Queens Arms for a number of years, then a Mr and Mrs Fern.
West street is and was opposite St Mark's Church in Winshill.
I have an 1881 census with Alfred and Mary Soul? running the Queen's Arms.
I occasionally go over to Burton Library, searching for my own rellies, so I could ask if they have any photographs of the pub, if you wish.
Regards
Molly
PS
I do not mind taking photographs of the street as it is now, if it is of any help.

Thanks Molly and Pat and everyone else who answered,
Mr and Mrs Cowley were my direct line descendants, and I was really interested to hear that the library may have a photo. I live in Colchester so not so near, but am thinking of coming to Winshill for the day to gather photos and info, and do a bit of grave yard searching as well.
Would love some info from you Molly, but what is a pm? As you can tell, I am quite new at this
Many thanks
Alfie

Hi Alfie,
I make no apology for being a Stapenhillian.
1. If you google 'st. marks church winshill' and click on the Geograph. org site you will see a beautiful picture of your local church.
2. If you google 'staffspasttrack' and insert winshill on the search there are two photos; one of the V.E. celebrations at Eldon Street and of pupils at Joseph Clark Schppl.
You other Gorby's Knob people may also be interested.
Best wishes.

No worries about being a Stapenhillian pc99, not only do a lot of my relatives come from Stapenhill, but I come from Essex, far worse reputation!
The picture of Eldon Street is wonderful, thank you so much, probably have some of my family on it as I had some living in Eldon St.
Also lovely picture of St Marks Pat, can't believe that Winshill is disappointing when I look at that, but as you said, it is now more built up.
Kind regards
Alfie
