A photograph of the Cross Keys just after it closed in around 1909.

You can see from the photograph that this part of Tudor House was still cemented in the early 20th century. The cement covering the timbers in the other part of the building had just been removed when this photograph was taken. You can see the stucco was painted. The windows advertise some of the products which could have been bought.

Richard Cadbury bought the Cross Keys a few years after he had previously bought the buildings next door and turned them into The Tudor Coffee House. He amalgamated the buildings into one large property which is now known as Tudor House.

While making the many renovations to Tudor House, Richard Cadbury was careful to preserve as much history of the original buildings as possible, which was quite an unusual practice at the time. He kept the Cross Keys emblem and other items he found in the building and put them on display.
