The town stepped back in time to the 1970s with authentic 70s vehicles and shopfronts in place for the film-shoot. The old Woolworths in Rye became Veitch’s fashion store and an open fronted greengrocers was created with fresh produce on display. The Crown is a biographical story about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix.
