History to start with:
The former site of the Kings Head Hotel and Croft.
The hotel stood the site from 1769 to 1975.
The Kings Head on Church Street was closed by John Smith's brewery in 1973 then it was purchased by Epworth Parish Council who demolished it.
Kings Head Croft is now a site with trees and play equipment for young children.
Epworth Town Cllr Ros Wittaker asked us
Epworth Town Council at its Meeting on the 8th of August resolved that, The Shed refirbish the plaque for material costs only. The Shed contributing labour as its commitment to the community.
Stripped bare problems revealed:
The plaque is not entirely flat and has broken corner. The paintwork was poor and flaking mainly due to the lack of primer to seal the aluminium when it was first painted
Broken Corner Now needs attention:
Work is complete, and the plaque has been placed back on its plinth at Kings Head Croft.
The finished plaque
Shed Member Ian Campbell-Briggs and Cllr Caroline Finch Chair of Epworth Town Council hold the finished plaque.
Great work from the shed for the Isle community
