I have found this pub listed in the Pigot's Directory of 1832 to date where it was listed under Taverns and Public Houses.

I have also found reference to a "Crown and Freeman's Arms" that predates this, but could well be the same.

Destructive Fire at Woolwich.

About half-past three on Thursday morning the "Crown and Mason Tavern," a sixteen-roomed house, No. 13, Cannon-row, Woolwich, in the occupation of Mr. E. Dibdin, was discovered to be on fire, and, notwithstanding prompt assistance from the garrison and dockyard, the flames were not extinguished before the building was for the most part consumed. The adjoining houses, Nos. 12 and 14, in the tenancy of Mr. Hicks and Mr. Hammant, both sustained injury.
