The Kings Arms was near the intersection of Bradley Street and Ellerncroft Road (at Bradley Street in 1927 and earlier).
The Kings Arms closed in 1971 and the last landlord, Dougie Bowden, moved to run the Royal Oak in Cromhall. The building is now a private residence.
There was no bar in the Kings Arms and all drinks were sold through a serving hatch.
Drinkers in the garden were often not aware of the fishpond that claimed many a dampened victim.
