Historic Interest
Built in 1866, this replaced the former inn on the other side of the road which was also called the Crown. This former Crown dated from 1765, when it was originally called the Pye House (named after the local fields), and following the start of the enclosure of Bromley Common in 1764. This would have served travellers on the London to Hastings & Rye coach road. The current Crown, which started off as an inn, would have served the new housing developments on Bromley Common which commenced in the 1860s.
