The Little Crown was situated at 15 Southampton Street. was demolished in 1969. My grandparents were tenants from sometime in the 1950's - 60's. I stayed there a few times when a child. It had an interesting history, having been quite rowdy at one time. My grandmother used to board "theatricals" from the Palace Theatre in Reading. I remember Nelson who kept a pony and cart in the stables at the back - he was either a green grocer or a rag and bone man, I'm not sure which.
