Broxbourn.

The Crown, at Broxbourn-bridge, is situated close 

 to the river, and presents a cheerful, rural, inviting ap- 

 pearance as you approach it, from the number of 

 fowls, pigeons, cows, &c. feeding around the house. 

 The Angler and contemplative man may here find a 

 home ; every attention is paid to render his situation 

 comfortable, by the most obliging behaviour, with excel- 

 lent fare, good cooking, wine, home-brewed ale, clean- 

 liness, &c. of the proprietors, Mrs. Scorer and Sons, 

 who rent the waters above and below the Crown, the 

 former containing the Carthagena or Lock pool, and 

 meeting the Gull water ; the latter down to the King's 

 Weir, Wormly j the whole of which waters are well 

 stored with Jack, Pike, Chub, Perch, Roach, Dace, 

 Eels, &c. and some heavv Trout.
