The original Crawfish was a coaching inn and stood near to what became Thursford railway
station. The new house was built at some time after 1871 and before
1881 to cater for the railway clientele, although the new site
was half mile distant from the station.
It appears that the three other licensed establishments in the village,
the BELL,
GOLDEN LION
and HORSE SHOES
all closed at about the time of the
CRAWFISH relocating.
The CRAWFISH and Crawfish Cottage are both given 1881.
The `Old Crawfish' still stands some distance South West of the present Crawfish P.H. - on
the opposite side of the road.
The house includes a Thai Restaurant in 2001
