The Fox & Crane was situated on Weddington Road, closing in 2008. This pub was formerly known as The Grove, The Weddington Grove and The Weddington.

This is one of the last remaining buildings of the Weddington Castle estate (the Castle itself was demolished in 1928 to make way for a housing estate), and had been a pub/hotel since 1934. Before being a pub this was an impressive residential building which the owner of the Castle lived in after the Castle was demolished! I remember there was a lovely bowling green around the back. All of the old out buildings and old stables have been demolished. The main building has now been converted into residential accommodation and many other houses have now been built on the land.
