Samuel Joseph Warren Rowles was a policeman for many years with the Gloucestershire Force
When he left the force he became a publican.
In the ‘1939 Register’ he is listed as the landlord & licensee of ‘The Crown Inn’, Bevington,
near Berkeley, Gloucestershire.
DOES THIS PUB STILL EXIST?
DOES ANYONEW HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS PUB FROM THAT PERIOD?
-
Is it on Google.

Can't find anything.

Me neither. Could have been demolished by now as so many pubs have. You could try emailing the records office as many authorities take photos of old buildings & streets etc before they are demolished.

I think it must the beer house ("B H") marked on this map just below the legend "Pottinger's Farm". The Crown was certainly a beer house on the 1901 census.
