Monday, 11 May 2026

Getting ready for the move to Mousehold Street, packing is not fun ?

 The history of the building I live in , is more comlex than I know, I did think it was a more modern building, out of the row, Ships Row, with the ex Ships Inn, at the other end, looking like it was the oldest ?

Some places say mine was build in the 1800's, so new ? but may be it had word done by the Crown Brewery, Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs.

I seem to remember reading that the manager of the Crown Brewery, live in the house, I now live in, as three flats, but the building seem to day from the 12th century ? that why there are so many problems ? from making it look Victorian, that may be the Brewery done , when they own it, to the 1960s, three apartments, Council home, by the Local Council, who own this building now.

Inside my flat, and outside, it hard to see anything 12th Century, part of the back of the building, is stone, but painted over, and even new building sometimes have that ? but I am no expert, of course. 

I am packing most of my things, I am not sure what will happen next, just that I am moving, for some work to be done at this apartment, and I should move back, after it is done, unless there are any  ?

Who knows the future ? 


Crown Brewery, King Street Norwich, the owners

Short answer: The owners of the Crown Brewery on King Street, Norwich — across its entire history — were the Youngs family and the Crawshay family, operating under the evolving firm names Baseley, Youngs & Roe → Youngs & Burt → Crawshay & Youngs → Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs. In 1958, the company was taken over by Bullard & Sons, who became the final owners before closure.

Below is the full, sourced, chronological ownership map you asked for, Michael.

🏛️ Crown Brewery, King Street Norwich — Who Owned It?

1. Early 1800s – Baseley, Youngs & Roe

The Crown Brewery site was gradually assembled by the firm known as Baseley, Youngs & Roe in the early 19th century.

2. 1807–1830s – John Youngs & Partners

  • 1807: John Youngs recorded as brewer at Crown Brewery.

  • 1814: Partnership with Jonathan Davey dissolved; business continues as Youngs & Co.

  • 1830s: Run by Youngs & Burt.

3. Mid–Late 1800s – Crawshay Joins the Firm

  • Charles Crawshay joins the brewery, forming Crawshay & Youngs, later Youngs & Crawshay.

  • The firm expands massively, acquiring pubs and land on King Street.

  • By the late 19th century the brewery occupies three acres.

  • Registered as a limited company in 1897.

  • In 1958, Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs was voluntarily wound up.

  • Bullard & Sons became the beneficial owners of the Crown Brewery’s ordinary capital.
