I'm unsure when the Crown was new, but possibly 1920/30s? Certainly looks recently refurbished. The running man on the roundabout reminds that many thousands will have seen this corner overwhelmed by participants and supporters at the end of the Great North Run each year. The finish area is on the grass to the left of this shot, with shuttle buses parked immediately behind this view point.
