It finally became part of Stafford Borough in 1917. The Spittal Brook marked the southern boundary of the Forebridge area of Stafford and runs under the Lichfield Road near to the entrance to Davies Motors by the start of the railway bridge, and it joins the river Sow in the fields behind the pub. For most of the nineteenth century the Publican was also a farmer, with up to 60 acres of land. At the rear of the pub can be seen remains of some of the farm buildings also the early maps show now demolished buildings near the railway line. The name of a beer house called ‘Spittal Brook’ is mentioned in the White’s Directory of Trades of Staffordshire for 1834, run by William Underwood. The pub changed its name to the ‘Crown Inn’ in 1838 at the same time as the name of the hamlet was changed from Spittal Brook to Queensville to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria. The Pub finally reverted to it’s original name of the SPITTAL BROOK in June 1998 following re-decoration and improvements. A fuller history can be found in the pub. |
