As the CROWN, Southgate Ward 1744.
(The South Gate was built in 1437. The Crown of 1744 is thought to have stood on the site
of what became Jubilee Gardens. The road was widened in 1899 to allow 2 way traffic)
It was reported 5th October 1820 that thieves broke into the house (of Mr.
Roberts) and stole 7 silver table spoons, 2 tea spoons, 4 silver salts, 4
salt spoons, a silver pepper castor, a silver cream jug, one plated teapot
and a quantity of table linen.
Location as Southgate 1822 & 1830, South Gates 1836
Also found at 59 London Road.
In 1830 the coach the UNION left every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 7:30am, bound for London.
The licence of Mr. William Howe was renewed Monday 25th September 1893,
but with a caution. His application had been opposed by the Chief
Constable since it was said that the house was the haunt of poachers,
convicted thieves and disreputable people.
It was said of Mr. Howe that he had an exemplary character of 26 years
and 254 days, and he had tried to lead a civil life, as he had done a
military life. The characters who were complained of had been using the
house for at least 12 years and he had been trying to dissuade them
during his four years at the house.
Offered by the Borough Of Kings Lynn for Let by Auction on 17th March
1903.
`All that well established Inn, called the Crown,
eligibly situated for trade, near the South Gates, South Lynn,
with extensive premises attached, comprising good stables,
yard, outhouses, bowling green and garden,
now let to Messrs. Hogge & Seppings.'
According to the Lynn Advertiser of 19th November 1909, Mr Robert Medlock,
licensee of the Crown Inn, South Gates, was summoned for being drunk on
licensed premises, the Crown Inn, on 12th October 1909. He pleaded not
guilty.
Referred for Compensation 11th February 1918.
Licence extinct 8th March 1919. |
