EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Crown Inn in Ashill, Norfolk, England, as it appeared in 1907. Located in the picturesque village of Ashill, near the market town of Watton and the historic market town of Swaffham, this charming inn has been a beloved local institution for over a century. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, shows the inn's distinctive red-brick facade adorned with ornate white detailing, including intricate carvings and a grand sign bearing the Crown Inn name and the Royal Coat of Arms. The inn's inviting front door, framed by two tall, elegant windows, beckons visitors to come in from the crisp, autumnal air. At the time, the Crown Inn would have been a hub of activity for the local community. Travelers on horseback and in carriages would have stopped for a rest and a meal, while farmers and laborers would have gathered there for a pint and a chat after a long day's work. The inn would have also been an important social center, hosting community events and celebrations. The Crown Inn's rich history can be traced back to the 16th century, with records indicating that it was originally a coaching inn. Over the centuries, it has undergone various renovations and expansions, but its essential character has remained the same. Today, it continues to be a beloved local institution, offering delicious food, fine ales, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This photograph is an invaluable snapshot of the past, providing a glimpse into the history and charm of the Crown Inn and the community of Ashill, Norfolk.
