Crown & Anchor

A local pub.

Almost directly opposite the Guildhall and at the other end of the Zebra Crossing is this little "pub" which serves both food and drinks.

It isn't the prettiest of buildings, but even so it's very "British". I'd think, from the style of the sash windows, it is probably an early 20th Century Edwardian building. It may have once been two houses, as you can see there's a second 'front door' at the site, and two sets of chimneys.

The name "Crown and Anchor" suggests that the original landlord was showing allegiance to both the Monarch and the Royal Navy, perhaps it was originally owned by a retired Naval officer?

A slight issue with upload because this has lost the detail of the door. The panes of glass continue to the top, the detail is there on the original image, but now they seem to have disappeared into the gloom.
