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

Started to look through the early history, I will find some quite time but at first glance there is a lot of interesting information!
Thanks Mike!

Evening all. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some older pics from inside the old crown. I've trawled through the site but couldnt find much. I am stopping at the crown at the end of the month and would love to see some for a comparison. I'm sure it has changed quite drastically over the years but I'll look anyway :) I've attached pics of what I believe is the room I'm stopping in. Any help would be great. Regards.
