Rose and Crown, 38 River Road,, Littlehampton

Littlehampton pub history index

No longer in existence, the date that it went out of use is uncertain. The building is shown in its original form in the 1932 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map but in the 1959 version is shown as two premises. On the 1970 version of the map the buildings have gone, replaced by a works area. *
The following entries for Leah Jupp do not have a public house ascribed to them but looking at the property sequences in the 1841, 51 and 61 Censuses from known locations and comparing them it is almost certain to be this public House. *

1871 Census:
The enumerator for District 8, which included River Road, did not complete his listings sequentially, he seems to have dodged about somewhat making the tracing of pub proprietors very difficult. *

He incorrectly annotated most of the River Road properties as being in Surrey Street from before the Ship and Anchor, number 3, to beyond the Rose and Crown, number 38. He then recorded Ferry Road (now Terminus Road), Hampton Court and Purbeck Place, finally listing the remainder of River Road annotating it as such. *

Hampton Court and Purbeck Place were not listed where they were located geographically in either River Road or Ferry Road but were listed one after the other as above. *

This listing was determined by the succeeding known information. Mrs Leah Jupp was a lodger at a property further along River Road towards the Steam Packet in this Census. *

1871 / George Olliver / Head, Hotel Keeper / 40 / Littlehampton, Sussex / Census – PH name not listed, included here only on the evidence of the 1881 census *

1881 / Mary A Olliver / Wife / 50 / Cold Waltham, Sussex / Census
1881 / Isabella Knight / Boarder, scholar / 15 / Keymer, Sussex / Census
(Note: The Enumerator seems to have followed a sometimes haphazard route along River Road and whilst this entry is not given a road number it is immediately before road number 39 in the census records, the premises numbers running consecutively as the opposite side of the road was wharves and warehousing only.)

1891 / Isabella Sebbage / Visitor / 26 / Keymer, Sussex / Census
1891 / Thomas Mabbs / Lodger / 79 / Selsea(Selsey!),Sussex / Census
(Note: The above entry is included as whilst George Olliver isn’t recorded as an Innkeeper he still has Isabella living with him plus another lodger intimating that it might still be a Public House of some kind, possibly a landlord living elsewhere. See also next listing) *
