The Fountain Head

The Fountain Head was situated at 114 Parchmore Road. This pub closed in 2008. It has now been demolished and replaced by flats and houses.
 
This pub hasn’t been demolished, but is still as it appears in your picture. I believe it is being used as accommodation by a large number of builders, but it doesn’t look like they are working on the pub itself.

I visited the Fountain Head in the late 1960's where my old school friend Bill Head ran a disco in the upstairs room. Also had my 'stag night' in the downstairs bar, enjoying several pints of Youngs Special.
