The Crown Inn was situated on Winchester Street. This pub closed in 1908 after a licensing review. During the hearing Police Superintendent Hale told the Licensing Committee that twice in the past year he had summoned the landlord of the Crown for permitting drunkenness on licensed premises. He added, “During the year this house has been the resort of poachers, bad characters and loose women, and improper conduct has taken place in the passage and the back premises”.  Now demolished, shops have been built on the site.
