The Rose & Crown was situated at 17 Pennyfields. This pub was present by 1869 and was rebuilt in its present form following the 1934 slum-clearances in this area.  It was a Watney’s Brewery pub, best known for the period in the 1970s and early 1980s when it was run by Queenie Watts, a jazz singer and TV actress.  The pub was closed and converted to residential use in 2000 and is now home to a restaurant.
