The Crown Inn was situated on the Market Place. This became a private residence in the second half of the nineteenth century, eventually being demolished for road widening in the 1980s to create Langdale Gate. The building may well have been on the site for nearly 300 years; it had been an inn for at least a century before becoming a residence.
