After Oakham we travelled north and passed through Nottingham where I spotted The Crown as I was driving past. I had to stop and photograph it. Stunning.

Side view from north:-

From north-east. Windows, chimney, exterior walling, all superb. If the windows have been replaced it’s been done sensitively. Pity about the grafitti on the wall, though:-

From South-east:-

Rear of building. Nice to see the Art Deco elements extend all the way round, even if the extension’s a bit iffy:-

Detail showing Crown emblem at front:-

This view mostly avoided the lamp-post obscuring the building:-
