Welcome to

The History Of The Crown

We are building a history, below is what we have so far, but can you help? Old pictures of Cleator Moor & The Crown are sort! As a local community pub we support many members of our local population, from young to old. If you can help us with any old photo's we would really appriciate it and will add it to our collection for all our community to see.

Here we have a small collection to start with and over the coming weeks and months we will be adding more, hopefully with your help! Just pop in for a pint and a chat and we'll do the rest!

As you pass through Cleator Moor when travelling from Cockermouth to Egremont, you won't see much more than a row of houses on either side of the road. However, take a sneaky right turn halfway along and you'll come into the heart of the community which seems to ooze with history and stories just waiting to be told.

We are grateful that we have so many loyal customers who can bring their memories to life while sitting and chatting over a pint in our great pub.
