Crown Inn, Surfleet

This postcard is post dated 1904.

Thanks go to Reuben Holmes for the following information about this postcard:

Although The Crown Inn sign is prominent in the view I surmise that the gentleman seen is the postcard recipient Mr Williams the then Surfleet Postmaster, the comments on the reverse give indication that further postcards were being requested from the photographer who is the writer and named on the front of the card on the copy I have. I can remember the PO being in this location until recent times i.e 1970’s,

PS Of interest in the view too is the post Windmill which can be seen in the distance north of the village on the Boston Road.

  1. Post Windmill in the distance on Boston Road was demolished in 1912 so it is previous to 1912
