About this audio guide
This guide to the King's Head on High Street in Galway begins in two thousand eleven, with a local historian reading old papers in Oxford's Bodleian Library. It reaches back to Cromwell's soldiers taking the town, a colonel who moved into the mayor's house, and the masked executioner of King Charles the First whom nobody could name. Best heard on the street outside, looking up at the pub sign.
