Description:
Between each set of stall rails stood two cows. In the kidney-shaped troughs on the wall between the rails were lumps of cow-feeding cake which the cows munched whilst being milked. The milking sheds were last used in the early part of 1973. On the left is Mr Reed, the owner at the time.
Formerly the Fox and Crown Inn, which was mentioned in the parish accounts of 1670. It was closed as an Inn c 1900 by the then Vicar of Holme Pierrepont Church, whose son, instead of attending church on Sunday, spent his time there gambling.
Fox and Crown farm is on the north side of the A52 (Nottingham to Grantham Road). The farmhouse, which stood to the east was demolished in 1973 to make room for a car park.
