Gabriel Taylor tells me the following:- "Prominent on the triangular corner at the south end and facing Frances Street was the bowended and Gothic-embellished Rose and Crown public house, built in 1845 by George Hudson and Robert Jolly in partnership; this ended its days in 1961 as a doctor’s house and surgery."
