Until 1923 this was a BEERHOUSE. In April 1923 the license of the Oddfellows Arms in Bond Street was surrendered in consideration of removal to the newly built Rose and Crown, Stoke, which opened on 21st February 1925.
The old pub was described in Kelly's 1912 directory as being in Church End, Walsgrave Road, Stoke, and stood opposite what was then St Chad's church, now St Michael's. The new pub is a few yards farther back in location due to the widening and straightening of Walsgrave Road.
 Walsgrave Road before it was widened and straightened. The original Rose & Crown can be seen in greater detail in the blown up image on the right. | |||
