The King's Head, Halifax opened in 1822, and stood at 7 Cow Green, next door to The Craven Heifer.
In drawings & photographs, it can be identified by the 2 sets of steps to reach the front entrance.
In August 1868, under the terms of the Halifax Improvements Acts, the pub applied for, and was granted, a music and dancing licence.
The pub was often used by local musical groups, including the Halifax Music Club and the Halifax Philharmonic Society.
It was a Ramsden pub [1905].
This and other buildings in the area were demolished for redevelopment in 1971.
This is discussed in the books Halifax Pubs and Halifax Pubs: Volume Two
