The proprietor at this time was Ernest Beach

Thanks to Robert "Fred" Beach who has kindly added the following commentary :
"Ernest Beach was my dads Uncle Ernie and the woman in the picture I would imagine is his wife Zilla, they had one daughter Maureen ? I remember as a child (mid 1950s) a Sunday visit, the pub was closed, and being free to play darts and table skittles with my brother Harry while the adults chatted. My father lodged with them before the War when he worked on the GWR railways, he was attached to the Lydbrook gang, he later transfered to the St Briavels gang as he lived at Wyesham near Monmouth. Ernest was born 1891 on the Kymin near Monmouth and died in the 1970s?. Zilla lived on for many years next door to the Kings Head, probably until the late 1980s" .
Ernest Beach was landlord of the Kings Head from 1931 until 1954. (1)
Thanks also to J Lea who added: "Mrs Beach was my fathers sister. She had a daughter Maureen who died of M.S. in the sixties and a son Ronald who was killed, with his wife, in a car crash. She had an identical twin sister Jess who was landlady of Seven Stars pub in Cinderford with her husband Ben Voyce and then ran a newsagents, Bowe? in Cinderford until their retirement".
