Crowder

Crowder was the proprietor of the Britannia before it came under the Lanes. This links him with the pre-Morton halls. He went  into partnership with George Adney Payne. 

In 1878 they transformed Lusby's Summer Garden into the Paragon Music Hall.                                                                                                                                                                   Condenced from EARLY DOORS by Harold Scott
