59A Cornmarket (The Crown)
The Crown stands back from the street between 58 and 59 Cornmarket, and was originally numbered 58A (or 58½), but later settled on the number 59A. It is the only surviving pub in Cornmarket.
(It should not be confused with the original Crown Inn at 3 Cornmarket on the other side of the road.)
