Summary edit

Description
English: They have changed the signage on the 80's Bar since I last got photos of it. Now the 80's Bar and Diner / Reflex.

It is on the corner of Broad Street and King Edwards Place (a short road that goes nowhere now that the ICC / Symphony Hall is at the end of it).

It is a Grade II listed building.

Late C18 but much altered in the early C20. Three storeys; 6 bays with quoins left and right and at the corner where, set diagonally, there is on the skyline a clock tower surmounted by a crown. Stucco. Ground floor with modern tripartite windows and entrances, one between Tuscan columns and another at the corner. Entablature. First floor with an arched window and 5 sash windows. Second floor with a blank window and 5 almost square sash windows. All windows with key blocks and engraved lintels. Bracketted eaves cornice and later parapet with intermittent balustrading. Three fine rainwater heads.

The Crown Public House, Broad Street - Heritage Gateway

It was formerly listed as Crown Inn.

To the east of the canal, the former Crown Inn, was William Butler's brewery tap (His 19th century brewery survived at the rear until 1987). Small irregularly spaced sashes on the first and second floors survive from the building of 1781. Reconstructed in 1883 by William Jenkins, and again in 1930 by E F Reynolds, who did the ground floor with its rusticated piers, the Brasshouse-style parapet and the domed clock tower. Cheap classical west facade by Alan Goodwin & Associates, 1991.
