The Crown Inn was situated on Summer Road and is now in residential use.

A great pub. In the 60s and early 70s it was run by Marion and John Wilder and John’s brother, Bob. Being a Watney’s house the beer was passable but the company was amazing. Marion was one of the first to introduce food. She did a great prawn curry with chicken in a basket being a particular favourite. The Darts board was very popular. The wilders were a brilliant team. They used to look after us all very well with a particular effort being made at Christmas. Very regrettable to learn that it is now a Thai Restaurant
