Elpels64 -- I had these images on my PC for a different purpose, but they show the Crown site as it is today.
Sorry the photo's aren't great.

Didn't mean to jump in Joanne, if you have a more up to date image please post it :cheers:

Richie,I'm glad you came up with these photos because I was going to start looking through the forum for any pictures of this building.By the way.....I couldn't agree with you more about the it's style,isn't it a pity it wasn't more in keeping with the rest of the row :-(

Same goes for the building which is now Jack Ryans :angry:

Thank you for the pic's, ok doe's anyone believe in location location lol. It looks like a sore thumb placed in the middle of a tourist attraction. The Square is known for there small business gift, fish and chips,ice cream amusements shops etc. NOT A STORE LIKE THAT. OMG.

I guess when i come home i will be ready for a big eye opener.

Look how much nicer the Square would have looked if they had continued the design all the way along.
