Originally supplied by Stonham brewery.
Sold to Bullard & Co in 1898.
A fire in August 1911 engulfed the building and an elderly lady was suffocated upstairs. The pub was rebuilt almost immediately afterwards.
An earlier pub of same name was located in Bury Street. This pub was renamed in 1755 to Fox & Hounds.
The Crown has also been reported as being in Regent Street.

Footnote
The crown is a simple sign to show loyalty to the reigning monarch and apart from the commonwealth era (1648-60) has been a pub sign for over 600 years.
