The Crown Inn was situated on Hockerill Street. Part of this pub was used as a school, before demolition in 1898.

Whilst researching the accidental death of my Great, Grandfather with his Horses (two) and cart I saw that he was taken into the Crown Inn at Hockerill, Bishops Stortford , Hertfordshire . 26thSeptember 1899, and died later that evening . This Inn no longer exists having been demolished just after 1899 , the building was removed for road widening as the crossroads which it shared with three other pubs was narrow and somewhat dangerous . Only the Cock remains and even this had a bit chopped off , all being timber framed . One pub on each corner , it was a very busy route for the stage coaches and mail coaches going to and fro’ from Cambridge to London , the Crown was the largest and frequented by the gentry .
