Chipstead

Above postcard, circa 1930, kindly sent by Rory Kehoe.

Only found one instance of this public house at present from the census of 1881. Then Rory Kehoe finds me a 1930s postcard, he goes on to tell me that it was a Bushells, Watkins & Smiths tied house.

However, there is another pub with the name of the "Crown" to be found in nearby Knockholt, and without an address I am unsure whether this is the same. I have also found a "Crown" in Chevening addressed as Chipstead Street.
