15 & 17 The Hill, 2001
|
Situated halfway down The Hill, 'The Crown' was opposite the Village Butcher, F.S. Charteress and Son, (Mr, Mrs Frank Charteress) later his son David and Sandra took over the business. The Crown Pub site is 15, The Hill today but it has had different numbers on the door over the years, also called 'The Rose and Crown' way back in 1854. This numbering was due to the newcomers to the village infilling with bungalows, this led to old cottages being demolished. On this side of the The Hill going down, it can be seen by the numbering of todays' houses, between19 to 73, The Hill have simply vanished
