January 2025 - Crowle, Cross Keys

The Cross Keys was situated in Crowle Market Place. Of C18 origins, it was rebuilt by Nathaniel Brunyee in 1832 from brown brick in Flemish bond. The building is Grade II listed.

The Cross Keys was part of the Fox & Sons Brewery estate before being taken over by Barnsley Brewery. It closed as a pub in 1999 and was converted into offices.
