There is reference 1845 (see bottom of the page) of an application for the King’s Head, later Brisbane Hotel to be licensed as Spread Eagle. I don’t know if this is the same site as the 1830s house. There’s nothing else to suggest it is, but on the other head, the earliest I have for the King’s Head is 1835.
