Started to look through the early history, I will find some quite time but at first glance there is a lot of interesting information!There has been many changes in the Old crown , including removal of walls etc, and indeed at one time part of it was an inn and part a shop. not sure how much of the plan of the old building is the same. Below is a photo which is said to be of the inside bar of the Old Crown, probably around 1900 . If you have not seen it, an early history is at https://archive.org/details/memorialsoldbir00smitgoog , and can be downloaded as a pdf
