Indian Queens

Museum. In 2009 the old stone lintel from the pub reappeared on a house in Indian Queens not far from the site of the original pub. It bears the inscription: "THE INDIAN QUEEN LICENSED BREWER AND RETAILER OF BEER, CYDER, WINE, AND TOBACCO. LICENSED to the POST HORSES" ==Amenities==

The village has a shop, social club, victory hall with post office. There is a primary school, a recreational park and a garage. Kingsley Village is a small outlet shopping centre in nearby Blue Anchor. ==Transport==

With the advent of the UK's growing tourism industry in post-war Britain, Indian Queens became synonymous as a notorious traffic bottleneck during the summer holiday season because the A30 trunk road ran directly through the village. With narrow roads, urban speed limits and a junction to the popular Cornish resort of Newquay, motorists could expect mile-long queues in both directions at peak times. An A30 bypass was finally proposed in 1987 but due to delays it was not opened until 2005, finally bringing an end to the village's traffic problem. ==Cornish wrestling==

Cornish wrestling tournaments for prizes have been held in Indian Queens. See also Cornish wrestling in Blue Anchor. ==In popular culture==

On his 2001 CD The Convincer, Nick Lowe wrote and sang a song called "Indian Queens", about a drifter who yearns to return there after a lifetime of travelling. ==Gallery==
