Crown St was a cul de sac, coming down from the High St, finishing at No 31, until 1968, when the Owner of Cumberland Cottage ( no. 33), Gordon Hosking, sold land which allowed the building of Cumberland Gardens, and hence the linking of Crown St to Ver Rd.
He later used the drive to Cumberland Cottage as land to form Harding Close, where a trust erected the missionary house and flats in the mid ‘70s.
