The Crown has seen few landlords since the war and was one of the first pubs that could boast an Island wide trade. Vivian "Nutty" Edwards was a colourful mine host for over 20 years after the war and drew crowds for his nightly "music hall performances" of stories and anecdotes about his army antics and especially the stories of the Great Wall of China. There are few that will forget the Labradors Corporal, Captain and Cider who were always ready to chip in with a trick or two. Time has moved on and now the pub is a popular family rendezvous with a beautiful trout stream, ducks and children's play area. The trout grow fat in the summer and many a heron has flown away with a smile on his face. The most recent rebuild has seen a big increase in floor area but the pub still retains much character, and would not upset the resident ghost.
