Treaty House, 90-90 Oxford Road, Uxbridge, Greater London
The back of the Treaty House. The Treaty House dates from 1576 and was originally known as Place House. It became the Treaty House after Charles I and his Parliamentary opponents met here during the English Civil War. They negotiated the Treaty of Uxbridge between 30 January and 22 February 1645. It became The Crown and Treaty Coaching Inn during the 18th century after the building was made smaller by two thirds due to the widening of the Oxford Road. The building still stands in 2014.
