The history of The Crown Inn Public House, Lechlade-on-Thames, Gloucestershire

Apart from the removal of the dormer window, the exterior of the Crown, a former coaching inn, has changed little over the years.

Colley's Supper Rooms, next door to the Crown, was originally part of the same building and was only sold about 40 years ago. The pub sign bracket that can be seen today was in place in 1919. A photograph of the peace celebrations of that year shows that the beers were supplied by Ushers' Trowbridge brewery. The Crown had only just been acquired by Ushers as it had been tied to the Sun Brewery of Highworth, Wiltshire (Wadley Bros). Ushers acquired Wadleys and their 17 pubs in 1918.
