The Boars Head, on the corner of Henrietta Street and Swindon Road, was within the shadow of the old malt house of the Cheltenham Brewery. The Stonehouse Inn was on the opposite side of Swindon Road. The Boars Head closed in 1931.
The old Boars Head is now a terraced house, but the building is still easily identifiable as the plasterboard signboard is still in situ on the masonry.
Francis Gregory was the owner of the Boars Head in 1891 and it was leased to the Cheltenham Original Brewery. Corpus Christi College of Oxford were the owners of the pub in 1903 who continued to lease it to the brewery on the opposite of the road. The annual rateable value of the Boars Head was £15.5s.0d. in 1891 increasing to £17.10s.0d. in 1903. The Boars Head was licensed as an ale house.
