On Tuesday 4th February 1913, alterations to the Crown Stores were approved by the magistrates. Although two adjoining shops would be taken into the property, the area previously available for consumption of beer, would be reduced by some 250 (sq?) feet. One of the added shops would be used as the bar parlour and the other as an order office. The intention of owners Youngs, Crawshay and Company was to increase bottled beer trade.
