This photograph, taken in the year 1875, offers a glimpse into the past of one of London's most historic and iconic inns - The Rose and Crown. Located in the heart of Knightsbridge, this impressive public house once held the title of the largest inn in the area. The image showcases the courtyard of the inn, which was formerly known as the Oliver Cromwell inn. The Rose and Crown's rich history can be traced back to the 17th century, with various additions and renovations taking place over the centuries. By the time this photograph was taken, the inn had already been a popular gathering place for locals and travelers for over 150 years. The courtyard, filled with horses and carriages, provides a snapshot of life in London during the late Victorian era. The horses, harnessed and ready for their next journey, add a sense of bustling activity to the scene. The inn's red-brick facade, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details, stands proudly in the background. The Rose and Crown's courtyard was a hub of activity, with travelers stopping to rest and refresh themselves before continuing their journeys. The inn's large size allowed it to accommodate a significant number of guests, making it an essential stop for those passing through Knightsbridge. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and vibrant past of The Rose and Crown, which continues to be a beloved institution in Knightsbridge to this day.
