One of three pubs in the South Benfleet conservation area, it is a successful local pub and offers food with Sunday Roast served.

Historic Interest

This pub was built in the late 17th Century (in 1868), being originally a customs house to control smuggling on the nearby river. It remained whole for the next 100 years until a fateful day in 1969, when it was shaken to its roots. A jack-knifed lorry careered down St Mary’s Hill, crashed through the front of the pub, demolishing a large section of the saloon and two front doors. After the dust settled the frontage remained supported by the imbedded lorry, fortunately no one was injured. After repairs, to commemorate a new start and the fact no one was injured it was decided to rename the pub the Half Crown.
