Original Antique Crown Inn Pub Price List – Pre 1914

This is a cracking bit of early 20th-century pub history and exactly the sort of thing that makes a room. An original Antique Crown Inn Pub Price List from Heather, Leicestershire, listing John Dronfield as proprietor before the licence passed on in 1914, so we’re comfortably 110 years old. The drinks list is brilliant: cowslip, parsnip, ginger and raisin wines sitting proudly alongside pale ales, porter and stout. Proper Edwardian pub life in black and white. The paper has aged beautifully with that warm foxed tone you simply can’t fake, and the simple wooden frame keeps it honest. Hang this in a kitchen, snug or home bar and watch people drift towards it with a smile….
